SALEM: John Holland, Heather Marlatt şi Jack Donoghue. „Yes I Smoke Crack” avertiza asupra unui distrugător album de debut – „King Night” – care a spulberat, în linie dreaptă, minţi, speranţe şi realităţi. SALEM a pătruns în locuri în care experienţa umană nu era menită să ajungă. Prin SALEM, simţi o durere morală care, de la Schubert încoace, nu a mai fost dat să existe.

„Im Still in the Night” este cel mai recent material discografic.
