In the words of Higher Ground Acousticum, "Immense technicality combines superbly crafted folk tunes to create a steady crescendo of epic folk-riffage". This is one upcoming act you will one day wish you had seen back when they were still small, Cause these boys are gonna be big.

The band draws inspiration from such sources as Bob Marley, Michael Franti and The John Butler Trio.
