It was around ten years ago that my brother Dave and I began writing tunes, drinking a lot of beer, and playing shows around our hometown of Philadelphia with our band Marah. It wasn't until 1998 that we released our first album Let's Cut the Crap And Hook Up Later On Tonight, a record we wrote, produced, and recorded above Frank's Auto garage in South Philly. What followed was a decade of touring in a van (the late, beloved Adrian) playing countless shows, recording two more self-produced LPs (one with a big name producer) -- with as many rotating band members than I could keep track of. So, this year, when it came time to begin work on album number five, we decided to try something we've been dying to do for quite a while – record our band live in the studio – swift and raw. And so we did. The result is If You Didn't Laugh, You'd Cry
