High alone in the winter, waiting for an encounter with a ghost I know;
the tri-tone chords play even worse when I get close. / This never used to be me, waiting up for the chance to get your note. / I couldn't believe it: that one of us could really go. / It's Bill Hicks' cosmic joke, / A haunted house with a ghost I know.
They say you can't hear me when I talk to my room in a subtle spell. / My gut says they're right, man, but it's not enough to kill my / Soft doubt, it runs all ways / To keep the sword away from my name.
High alone in the winter, I alone am the winner.
I'm too ripped and they're so uptight, / You're dark you're dark, and if you're light, you're light. / Too ripped and they're so uptight, / But there's nothing to prove - it's just a ride.

Sophomore release from Violent Mae. Poignant songwriting, stunning vocals with a strong Buckley influence, and enduring melodies. Two-piece from CT that's making some of our favorite songs right now. Quiet Giant
Garage rock from New London. Packs a punch and takes some unexpectedly beautiful turns. Between the power and the melodies, we could listen to Fatal Film all day. Quiet Giant
