Spotlight On: Council

Council is a trio of brothers, identical twins Pat (Lead Vocals/Piano/Bass) & Doug (Drums/Vocals) and younger brother Andrew (Guitar/Vocals) who traded in the luxurious life of American farming for arena-ready rockstardom. … Continue reading Spotlight On: Council

Jestem Krzywym Lasem Track by Track: Without You

Quiksand was the first song I wrote that I realized pretty quickly it didn’t quite fit in with all the other songs I was working on at the time. It was somehow musically even more toned down than any … Continue reading Jestem Krzywym Lasem Track By Track: Quiksand
