Pride & Shame are of a different species. With the ability to forage for melodies among thorny guitars, they have evolved to create their version of The Who's "Tommy" or Bowie's "Ziggy Stardust." A retro-futuristic space-rock opera, Mission To Mars is as focused as it is eclectic. True to form, this album sounds nothing like the one before it. Lush orchestral jungles with oases of harmony, gritty guitars and slithering acoustics tell the story.

These clips are VERY rough ideas. Just thought it would be easier to post little clips that I recorded as ideas onto my iPhone so you can get an idea. Ideally looking for people to collaborate with to turn them into full songs. Would be great to find a singer who can play rhythm guitar, a drummer and a bass player. Big fan of WIlco, Son Volt type stuff, Tom Petty, etc. but honestly my musical tastes are all over the place (I grew up on indie rock and hardcore, and huge fan of stuff like Rocket From the Crypt, Superchunk, Quicksand, Jawbox, etc). Mostly want this stuff to be more alt-country, guitar driven, rock type stuff. I'm 37 years old, work full-time and just looking for like-minded people who want to do this for fun. I'm in Denver, CO.
