On their debut album, THE QUEEN AND THE OUTCAST, Whole Damn Mess pens a unique love story for rock and roll dreamers.

In Don Miggs’ revealing, autobiographical songs, a more complex and richly detailed truth emerges. In the process, Miggs realizes that having everything you need doesn’t mean that you should give up on what you’ve always wanted.

To have the Whole Damn Mess, in other words, means that gaining wisdom and maturity doesn’t necessarily extinguish the fire in your belly or satisfy the dream in your heart. It’s about not holding back, about opening the floodgates and letting honesty and passion come out in all their unfiltered glory. It’s about giving up on perfection in favor of emotion in hopes of touching listeners’ souls, not just striking a hipster pose.

"I want this music to be everything to someone, not something to everyone," Miggs says. "I’d love to show people that no matter what you have, every day can still be the best day of your life. It can be the day that you do something that you’ve never done before. It would be cool if this album gave even one person the hope to dream a little bigger than they have been."

Throughout the recording, Miggs was aided by his co-writer/producers, Mighty Mighty Bosstones guitarist Lawrence Katz and songwriter/producer C. Todd Nielsen. Together they’ve created a sound that harkens back to classic rock from the ‘70s and ‘90s with a bracing modern energy. "Those guys really pushed me," he recalls. "We were a three-headed monster and I wasn’t allowed to take the easy route instead of being as personal and authentic as possible."
