[edit] New Material

The group has a wealth of new material which they are performing live. They are gathering songs to record for a future full length album. Titles include:

  • "The Appliances Have Gone Berserk"
  • "Oh The Glory Of It All"
  • "Things We Lost In The Fire"
  • "What's Right"
  • "Write You In"
  • "Over Me"
  • "If You Go"
  • "Pistol Song"
  • "So There's Life (Oh, My God)"

Their Myspace describes some of the new material:

“The Appliances Have Gone Berserk”, an excitable, political rave-up, and “If You Go” are a platform for the dual guitar pile-driving bursts and the belligerent and sinister rhythm section to shine. “Over Me” is kicked off with melancholic piano and guitar, churning and chiming in over an electro two-step groove before diffusing into a euphoric coda. The simple “Things We Lost in the Fire”, a commentary on unconditional love taken to dangerous levels, places delicate acoustic guitars on top of a wheezing, injured organ before releasing into a piano laden outro."
