The first song I wrote with lyrics. Written to capture a standard Classic Rock feel. It takes some inspiration from Sonny Landreth.

lyrics

Well, I was flying down the highway,
Trying to lose control.
Well, I was flying down the highway,
Trying to lose control.
Had a cop pass by me,
He said, "You're cruisin' for a bluesin' for sure."

She’s playing with the wrong guy,
No matter what they said.
She’s staying with the wrong guy,
No matter what they said.
If she don’t change her ways,
She's cruisin' for a bluesin' yet.

See him in the corner,
Playing with some Herr's Frau.
Won't you see him in the corner,
Playing with some Herr's Frau.
Aw, he better watch himself, baby,
He's cruisin' for a bluesin' now.

See those kids, there,
Dissing that record machine.
See those kids, there,
Dissing that record machine.
They’re cruisin’ for a bluesin’,
If you know what I mean.

The Metal Heart EP

Dwight Roy creates a very Hendrix-y sound, with grooves that jump out at you. His lyrics are a mix of familiar topics, from broken hearts to mythology and more, and he uses them well. Instant classic. Brian Fischer

The Mukluks EP

Peter Bingen's unique lyrical style and compositions have both a depth and mystery that draw you in. Monique Wentzel's vocals provide a contrast and harmony to Peter's, creating melodious harmonies. Brian Fischer
