What song of yours would you want played as the credits of a film. What's that film and why would it work?
The second song on our 7-inch we just self-released, called "I'm Not Headed Where I Should Be Going" for Gone With the Wind because, just like that movie, the song is an over-the-top musical production that will go down in history as one of the greatest things ever made.

Punk paczki heaven.

Lettercamp Liz Wittman-vocals, guitar; Matt Lannoo-guitar; Derek Dorey-bass guitar; Pan!c-drums, synth
We know how you crushed out on Liz Wittman and Lettercamp this year. No need for the shame, hombre. She and the boys bind together electro-sultry-pop that lingers the same way catching a slight sight of a garter strap does.
What song of yours would you want played as the credits of a film. What's that film and why would it work?
I think "Failure" would work really well as the score for a documentary about my bank account. I can give you 100 reasons why it would work ... er ... -100 reasons ... wait for it ... -135 reasons.
