Worse Things than Dying EP & Liner Notes
The 'Sausages of Ireland' could easily give one the impression that we only play light-hearted songs but here we present a collection of music that we have always held dearly yet never quite knew where to put.
These pieces of music explore life and death, sometimes literally and sometimes metaphorically. They seek to understand the fragile nature and uncertainty of happiness, wars fought on the battlefield or wars fought in the mind, and what it means to rise again.
