    I did a search and found basically nothing on this amazing amazing project. It's the guitarist from Alexisonfire, a post-hardcore band, his name is Dallas Green. He basically started his own little singer song writer project, with occasional guest appearances. His voice is so powerful, and probably the best singer song writer I've heard in many many a moon.


    Some of his stuff;

    Went to school with him. :) He's a really sound guy, very talented and a total sweetheart. Glad to see him gaining worldwide popularity, kind of a big thing for our small area.

    I've been listening to lots of his stuff recently. He has one of the best voices around IMO at the moment. I could listen to him for hours. What makes a man is a particular favourite of mine at the moment.

    He did a rehash of an old Tegan and Sara song called The First, too, with Tegan Quin. Completely stripped it down, changed the tempo, rearranged some lyrics, turned out class though.

    Can't wait to hear more from him.

    Got into AOF first (This could be anywhere in the world is an amazing track) then got into City and colour which is the complete opposite. Body in a box and the girl are two great tracks from Bring me your love. Also really like the live version of happiness by the kilowatt on the live cd.

    The first C&C track I heard was Waiting, and it hooked me. Absolutely great music. Talented guy.
