Years after Robert the Bruce's nephew's nephew swam to freedom, off the coast of Hi-Brasil (during the "Omission Appearance"), Syrrah began. Their music is an amalgamation of its members wide influences centered on a desire for growth and catharsis. Anything goes in the world of Syrrah, and their live show is a testament to that. Those blessed enough to have seen them in venues from Delaware to New York have walked away with a life experience that rivals seeing the Virgin on your breakfast toast, and then eating that toast and it is delicious and buttery.
