While Skulduggery Street was a musical story, This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things is a collection of some of the best tunes we've come up with over the three years since. Boasting Kyf, Swanny & Eric's continual writing maturity, the songs intertwine nicely as each musician extends his musical finesse to new stringed things. The covers we chose - from ex NYC cop John Rafferty's fist-pumping tribute to The Monkees' gem to the Gillian Welch adapted traditional - were chosen from past jams, discoveries and experimentations during our rehearsals and long journeys to you. Recorded at Kyf's old farmhouse and mixed by old friend & mainstay Cliff Hillis, This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things is more of the same quality stuff we've always given you - only better!
