Composta por Justin Rice e Christian Rudder, a banda indie foi formada no Brooklyn, NY, em 2003. O nome é uma referência onde os amigos viveram juntos quando frequentavam a Harvard University: Bishop Allen Drive em Cambridge, Massachusetts.
Bishop Allen já lançou três álbuns e 12 EPs; o segundo álbum, The Broken String, foi lançado em Julho de 2007 e seu mais novo, titulado "Grrr...", tem previsão para lançamento em Março de 2009.

Quatro anos de trabalho duro!Neste mês de maio fizemos quatro anos no ar. Continuamos trabalhando na divulgação deste maravilhoso instrumento, obrigado por participar da nossa história!
The reason I wrote the chords for this song (My first tab ever) is because I can't even the lyrics on the internet. If anyone else knows this song and the lyrics please email me at [email protected] any corrections. Trying to find these lyrics was like writing a history report on presidential assassinations.
I play this on acoustic to woo the political science ladies. --------------------------------------------------------------
