THE FALLEN LEAVES

Their long-held belief that a good idea played badly is better than a bad idea played well, spurred them into action; Rob Symmons (Guitar), a founding member of the original version of Subway Sect, the indisputable William Lewington IV (Drums), his Imperial Highness Matthew Karas (Bass) and the Reverend Rob Green (Singer) who built himself a reputation at Bernie Rhodes' legendary Club Left. The Fallen Leaves hatred of one another is intense; but it is out of this creative conflict that pop music played with passion rather than precision is born.
