Great tribute to Tom Verlaine from Rob Sheffield - as long as people play guitars, his music will continue to mystify and inspire.

The Boys Are Back in Town might be the best rock song ever written. You can find a few Easter eggs in our tribute, released on Thank You Friends EP. Raise a toast and play some guitarmony in Phil’s honor today!
