Ok, here’s the deal.
Sometimes it takes a long time to get where you’re going. Along the way everything you go through stays with you in the end.

It feels like we’ve only just begun.

Our music’s been called many things along the way. When we started in 1989, it was only me and JKK and the blues/folk songs that we wrote and recorded the following year with our friends. For The Sake Of It was the name of the album. Although it remains in the vault unreleased, it led us straight into the neo-traditionalist rock band that we were for the first half of the 90’s.

By the time we got to the Songs For Tide EP, released in 2001, the current line-up had cemented and the style of music had become somewhat more complicated in a sort of post-rock vein. ”Deep rock” we called it then. This time we even got some radio play. A reviewer said the music felt like ”rowing in the air”. It still does.

After all the experimentations with trip hop beats and loops, we settled into more organic approach to give the stories in the songs the gravitas they needed. You could call it post-folk rock if you had to. Anyway we don’t sound like anyone else.

We took the name for the band in 1989 from a Peter Weir movie Dead Poets Society. By changing one word, we aimed to pay homage to the Beat Generation poets and writers like Kerouac, Ginsberg and Corso. They passed the torch to the first real poets of Rock ’n’ Roll who passed the torch to the next generations. This meant that no lyrical topic was out of bounds.

So here we are in the continuum. The freedom in creating art is also the idea behind the ”unlimited” appendix which we added later when all these bums and near namesakes started appearing.
