Wow! Thank you for the unfiltered revelation of your early sexual exploits...Dead End was indeed written from a similar perspective,a low-point, minus the prostitute, but with the idea in-mind that things couldn't getter any shittier. It was right before things finally started to happen with the band , but I couldn't see that far ahead and figured that this was a hole I wasn't going to be climbing out of any time soon. Every time we play that song, I try to go back to that state of mind, to remember how it felt so that I do whatever I have to do never to go back there again!

You're the first person to ever mention that one! Well done and thanks for paying attention...

Maybe you should start at the end and work your way backwards...That way you don't have to interpret our records in terms of an evolution and hopefully can let each album stand on it's own merit, belonging to its own time and place. The band started in high school and we didn't catch a break for the next ten years or so! I wrote a song called Brother Down while living under a friend's fooze-ball table and it somehow caught-on on Canadian radio and we've been holding on for dear life ever since...If you are an aspiring musician you need to develop a thick skin as quickly as possible! You are going to be told "no" a lot and you have to be able to maintain a firm grip on your creativity in the face of sizeable odds. Good luck in class!
