This is written by my friend Kevin Smith. He's a fine songwriter from Western Australia. To my ears he's one of the best in the whole country. He sings in a band called Kevin Smith and the Seven Storey Jumpers, Great band. I love how the narrative of this song is like some Scorsese film concentrated into three intense minutes. Aaron Peacey is doing the more fancy guitar part in this recording. He's a wizard on the guitar and knows not to overplay. A rare talent indeed.

The Painted Hearts have a sound that is like a cross between Bo Diddley and Lou Reed. One of the best bands I know. Great songs. Great sound - Konrad Lenz Konrad Lenz
The Wedded Bliss are a great band with a great songwriter/frontman in Randall Blair. His songs are honest, well crafted and touch a raw nerve. Fantastic stuff - Konrad Lenz Konrad Lenz
The Bodies, fronted by Liam McKahey from Ireland, are one of the best acts in Australia. I've seen these guys live and they're phenomenal. Liam's a first rate songwriter and this record is great. Konrad Lenz
