Tiersman: BIG TROUBLE
- Tiersman pull no punches. Tiersman aren't trying to please you.
Tiersman are here to tell you how much of a waste of space you are.
Tiersman can see that look in your eyes, they see you inspecting your shop window reflections, trying to maintain the pile of lies you call your life, and they're imploring you to let it fall apart.
But, they feel all of your pain, your frustrations, your perpetually empty bank account, your idiot boss, your failure, and your fear of failure.
Emerson Snowe: Emerson Snowe Plays Covers
- This one is a curve ball, no doubt, but one you won’t want to let slip through to the catcher. Emerson Snowe is the solo moniker of Jarrod M. Mahon, who happens to be the bassist in everybody’s favourite little indie-band-that-could, The Creases.
