Artist description A unique modern rock sound reflecting the trials and tribulations of modern day society, Population Crisis are a commentary on what is wrong with America today. They are serius, dedicated young men, hoping to make the world a better place for all peoples.It starts at about 1 PM, when Matt Sitarski wakes up and bitches at anyone around to give him a ride to Mr. Miller's house. Once there, they work on their multi-thousand dollar recording studio on pointless things, ranging from making farting noises into a microphone to producing high-quality songs reflecting American society. All the while, they must put up with the pressures of Geoff's naked grandmother and her consistent nagging for everyone to get out. A little bit later, Dan Reilly appears at the door. Almost always, while recording vocals, there is a doorbell or phone ring. Around 4 PM, A brawl occurs from frustrations. Finally, around 9 or 10, everyone goes home and Matt and Geoff sit their sorry, pathetic asses online. Dan goes home and works dilligently on his homework and studies. Sometimes, they play some Acrophobia! Lastly, around 4 or 5 AM, everyone sleeps. Lather, rinse, repeat. Start a new day.
