(Will always wanted it to be spelled out, so I moved it and added stuff to the Four Fifty Six entry. Don't know how to delete the numerical entry)

I personally maintain that this is the most mindblowing band perhaps ever in Louisville with the most talented folks involved in music in this city. Sadly, they never made much effort to play too much unless I made them. I always described them as free cruiser punk. It had that late blues punk Evergreen vibe but it had this free time flow of Ornette Coleman or something that was completely bizarre. Will is an amazing singer, guitar player, engineer, and drummer. Tony is hands down the best drummer in the city in my opinion. Todd lays down the groove and has an amazingly unique connection with Tony.

They never did enough really, and ended too soon of course. I have some beautiful solo songs that Will did. When he'd perform solo it would be The Four Fifty Six. I also have a live recording they did when they played the Mercury Paw with Event Horizon. Amazing stuff I will always treasure. If you can find Will, beg him for a copy of the solo record he did because it is perhaps the greatest thing that ever happened in this city that no one has heard.
