Peter Hayes Quotes

A lot of these songs were written for our first album. One of them, Shuffle Your Feet, was from before we were a band even. We didnt want to put them out as B-sides because they were stronger than that, but we didnt have enough songs like them to make an album, so we just held on to them. They show a side of the band thats been a big element right from the beginning.
