The Best Men are an actual BAND. They are four people who’ve known each other for years and played together a thousand times (in fact, two of the members (Col – gtr, Aran – drums) grew up next door to eachother!). There is no substitute for the tight, bonded quality of a band who live and breath each other’s playing and have done so at countless gigs.
