Rook / Red Room Demos (2002-2007) - These are finished demos that stretch all the way
back to the first night we ever got together as a band. Some of these still have potential to be
something great. It has always been easy for us to come up with good ideas but has been a
challenge for us to get them finished. Between these finished demos and some of our
unfinished ideas, we should have the right material for a second EP soon.

Plumb / Plumb (1997) - When I was first signed to Essential Records and Publishing, they

with the outcome of the track either. But, what do I know. I need to post the original demo at
some point so you can see how the song began it's journey.
