it's awesome that you also look like you could be a band from 1991, 2002, 2013...

haha, I was thinking that too! That could have been slipped into any press kit circa 2001-2005 and no one would have batted an eye.

For a second I thought you were talking about the architect and my mind was about to be blown.

the grungy photo setting and lack of self-serious "we have come to ROCK you" posturing make it timeless
