The stories that you tell me I already know
Eroding like the shorelines of Lake Ontario
- Wayne Petti from "I Really Want to Help You"... by Cuff the Duke

Cuff have toured on the highways from coast-to-coast in Canada several times in the last couple of years. Unbelievably long hauls aside, Canada is a vast, beautiful country. Hopefully that's what our music represents. Epic in nature.

— Wayne Petti
