Down With The Butterfly is made up of David Scholten, Kris Pope, Jason Burns and Ian Sherwood but sometimes the group expands with the addition of strings and other things. Its hard to describe their sound but its a bit like Brit Rock meets American folk music with a hint of train wreck drumming. Their songs challenge your ear, not because they want you to work for it, but simply put- if a DWTB song doesn't need to return to a chorus, it just doesn't and moves off in a carefully arranged manner.
Down with the Butterfly is intense, beautiful and insightful. It is despair with hope. It's more than just a band, it's a family of idealists trying to make sense of a beautiful world that often tears us apart.
Down With The Butterfly are from Halifax, Nova Scotia and inspired and encouraged there.
