Balancing  Act was written while the band was working on a picket line for a local grocery union. We weren't hired so much for our activism, as we were for the somewhat scary images that we presented. It was work, and our release Welfare Dub, and this song, which was released a few years later, were the results.

Balancing Act

Towers Open Fire is a song that grabs me just as hard today as it did the first time I heard it. No recording does it justice, and there was nothing like witnessing this song live as Robert Porter poured his entire body and soul into it. RIP Mr. Porter. We'll take it from here.

Dock of the Bus Stop

Towers Open Fire

This is a live version we recorded ourselves. A version made it onto our first release. This is the entire unedited version.

Live From the Chesterfield

Smokestack Lightning (LIve)

This song was originally released on the Welfare Dub Cassette. It is the title track of the remastered EP on iTunes and Amazon under the band name Thin White Line. With the opening lines, "Love and emotion begone. History repeats itself if we wait to long..." it's as pertinent now as it was 20 years ago. Another great Robert Porter song.
