Artist History (here are a few reviews) I really enjoyed the mood of these songs, it sorta reminded of some late ninties smashing pumpkins. Trippy songs, sort of NIN with better guitars. I just listened to "udon't. I really enjoyed it. Cool beat and great guitars. L oved the vocals. What a cool song... Artist has moot point lyrics, singing in recitation of poetry to musical accompaniment style. (You can hear a similar style in TOM WAITS creations)... guys like a lo-fi Nick Cave or something... Mark's doing someth ing very different & very cool! reminds me a bit of the velvet underground amongst others! very New York...sorta like sittin on the bus between Lou Reed an Tom Verlaine... sounds like a cross between GvsB, eminem and jim carroll! like a mixture of 'Jesus and the Mary chain' and early 'Sisters of Mercy'.

Group Members mark krischak, johnny, jimmy & kerwin.

Instruments vocal, 2 guitars, bass, and drums.
