The Art Of. A group of friends? You bet. A group of musicians? Absolutely.

They are best described as a group of guys who wanted to play music together and didn't stop. "Formed" years ago, their chemistry onstage is undeniable. With Bob Daly on guitar and vocals, John Killawee on bass, Chris Payson on drums, and Matt Amyotte on organ and piano, all four bring not only life-long histories in music but also diverse influences which can be heard in everything they play. Their first album, The Engine, will be released in February 2010. A personal, yet driving record that tells stories we all know and some we don't like to admit, the album is a testament to the band's collective belief that music can make you move and still carry a message.

"We tried to ride the line between intimate and explosive as closely as possible.” After years of being pulled in multiple directions by “life”, the boys are determined to push back by promoting this new album to its fullest and bringing their high energy, impassioned live show to as many stages as they possibly can.
