From the hearts of Mark, Andrew, Paul, and our friends, David and Andy, flows the sound that carves out the Busy World's unique musical niche in the stony facade of indie rock. All of our lives and loves, our influences and impulses permeate the poetic melodies and prosaic honesty of our music. The uncommon sincerity in each line we write directs us away from the ubiquitous redundancy and exorbitant shapelessness of so much of the music of our generation. Fanfares of intricate complexity and rich instrumentation contrast moments of delicate intimacy.

Andrew, who previously played music with Derek and Trevor, felt the obvious connection the first time Mark's guitar melodies interlocked with his own. As time passed and friends moved, Paul and Andy completed the core roster of the band and created the musical structure with their unequivocal talent and creativity. Dave, a natural accordian virtuoso, adds textured layers of sound when he's not way away in the land of Michigan.

The music becomes a lifestyle, more than just something scheduled twice a week. With much practicing, writing, recording, playing shows, going to shows, and spending time with other bands and musicians, the Busy World seeks to break from conventions and convince listeners that it was a good idea.
