About Born Traitor
"This wasn’t the guy I’d written music with, performed on stage with... cried with at our friend’s funeral. He was something else. It was that look in his eyes when he saw the blood from his lip. His pupils were so tiny, he looked like an animal" Witch House Dreamers are a fictional British-American band who managed to find success in the late 1990s and early 2000s. With their blend of hard rock and dark psychedelia, nihilistic horror-inspired lyrics and being led by frontman Gary Machen, they seemed unstoppable. Even after two tragedies struck the band and nearly caused a break-up, they still managed to come together to save the band and themselves. However, when the sole female member, guitarist Harley Carter, comes forward to the police, she has a disturbing and potentially explosive story to tell about the band’s lead singer. With this single action, the band’s very existence is suddenly under threat and Harley’s reputation, reliability and even her safety are called into question
