Remember making those tapes of your thirteen-year-old-aspiring-to-be-a-rock-star self singing and pounding on improvised instruments in your bedroom or garage? And remember how listening to it years later you marveled at the originality, energy, and charm of your simple songs and your uncensored self? Kori Gardner (vocals and keyboards) and Jason Hammel (vocals and drums) clearly enjoy making music for themselves and for each other. In the process they have captured the sound and feeling of a home-made, lo-fi masterpiece and given us all a copy in the form of their debut release. As Kori and Jason sing in the opening song, "It doesn't matter, what might come true/It's simply enough to try."
