about

Undertow is record of 11 songs that explore themes of desperation and renewal set to the backdrop of an anachronistic rural American landscape. The rock-infused bluegrass music is sometimes melodic and lilting, sometimes driving and raucous.

"This band has done well to create a very unique sound, seamlessly blending genres in the most unpretentious of ways....a delicious earful of sounds from as far away as the folk music of Ireland to the worlds of country blues and indie folk." -Chip McCabe, ct.com

Track Name: Survive
she's looming low
as we pass the smoke around
that she can't breathe anymore
as we put her in the ground
and the shovel's clinking
and the rain is passing by
certain things should seem so small
like pennies on the eyes

but they draw the line

between your life and mine
and now i'm stuck here
with all of this time
biggest thing about me
was that you were mine
i loved you 'til i lost all hope
how can i survive
without your tongue
digging at my teeth
no one sees me like you did
i can't let this be

whoa
will we survive?
i'm finding words to live by
will we survive?
my god i miss your eyes.

and they said we wouldn't last but we did
and they all said
that we were only kids
but i knew from the first time i touched your skin
i wanted you by my side until my lungs caved in

whoa
will we survive
i'm finding words to live by
will we survive
without you here, why should we try?

whoa
will we survive?
i'm finding words to live by
will we survive?
my god i miss your eyes.
