Now don't get me wrong, anytime people get attacked, its a serious matter and given what happened with the Sri Lankan cricket team 2 years ago in Lahore, The WIndies had every right to be terrified. So they attacked the West Indies team bus by throwing rocks at it. The match was at Dhaka, and the Bangladeshi crowd were, less than thrilled. Last night the West Indies hammered Bangladesh by defeating them by 9-wickets in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2011. Turns out that us desis have been at it again, going all apeshit over cricket I pray for his family and I pray to God to give them peace and the strength to carry on. I hope he knows we miss him and still think of him. I pray for Imran and I hope he has found peace wherever he is. His mother still sends me text messages whenever we get a mention in the newspaper, or we come on television. they have show tremendous grace and spirit through the tragedy and they inspire me everyday. Imran's family has been absolutely amazing throughout this ordeal. I'm sad he isn't around for me to tell him, "Imran, you crazy bastard, you were right all along" I'm sad he isn't around to see how absolutely spot on he was in his predictions. He knew that there was no point spending money on big studios when we could record the same quality in our living rooms. He knew that we were wasting our time chasing sponsors and record deals. He knew that the Pakistan music industry was going to be all about live shows and songs were going to distributed almost exclusively on the internet. Imran was way ahead of his time, although he didn't know it. I wonder what he would say about the way things are in the music industry today. It's funny how time passes by so quickly. It'll be a year today since Imran passed away. Oh and you know the guys you can't stand because they always think they have a shot with her when she's with you, she'll definitely want to hang out with them the most. Conversely, they will enjoy the company of people you cannot stand. But a Crazy Woman will hate the nice friends or the extra friendly friends even more because they represent someone who is more pleasant/nicer than her. Now, most of you rational women will protest because hey, let's face it, most of your boyfriends have at least a couple of douchebag friends that you don't like. She avoids hanging out with you and the guys, gets quiet when she calls you and you're out with them, she glares when you narrate some awesome anecdote about the last time you were with them and subtly drops hint that she thinks your buddies are tiny little shit pieces. check out their full piece h e r e, and check out under the radar’s feature of speak h e r e.That's right, she not only hates your 'bros' but makes it a point to hang out with the assholes you hate. Thank you also to atwood magazine for the thoughtful premiere of this collection of songs. drop us a line and let us know what you think! and come find out if we know how to play them live next month at the sultan room on july 23rd. We hope you’ll take these pieces into your universe however you need. To support these songs, we created video diaries for each tune, giving you a glimpse of our lives during a global shutdown and the music we made amidst this isolating time. this is our effort to understate the more overstated songs off our record, to whisper the shouts, one word and note at a time, directly from us to you. all song and album titles are lower case, all imagery is self-made. This is our nod to saying bold things quietly, to turning the answer into the question. and while we love how the songs evolved to be, we wanted to also honor these tunes for what we feel they are at their core: whisper songs. ![]() These three songs, “trust (a whisper)”, “speak (a whisper)”, and “undo (a whisper)” were originally conceived as rather intimate songs but became more highly produced in the studio during the making of our album. It’s here! the ‘a whisper becomes a shout’ ep is out now everywhere! this is the first fully self-produced collection of songs we’ve put out, and it feels incredibly full circle to get to share them with you in these reimagined, revamped ways.
