Don Pyle's latest band project is Long Branch. From their Bandcamp page:
From Honey Harbour to Parkdale, Long Branch explores the dark edges of the city and the country, with a sound that touches on, but never rests at, country music, folk, psych and punk rock. Dead leaves, bare trees, redemption, resurrection, and difficult choices are embodied in the gorgeous guitars, fiddle and vocal harmonies of Long Branch's music.
