Artist description The music we play features heavy, distorted Guitar combined with dynamic Brass, and consists of mostly melodic Vocals with a touch of screaming, yelling, hard-core, or whatever you want to call it. Some might call us Ska, but the horns are really all that link us to that genre, because we have no clean, syncopated guitar. Instead we lean more towards punk with horns. We like to use the term "Brass Punk".

Music Style Brass Punk

Musical Influences MXPX, Ghotti Hook, Five Iron Frenzy

Artist History In the summer of 1997, three of our members played in a talent show at a youth conference, and it was around this time that we started planning to form an actual band. Planning and practicing went on for some time as well as performing a couple cover songs and leading praise music, which provided some foundation for the band. In the spring of 1998 we played our first show featuring our own original songs. The fall of that year brought some line up changes as our original singer left to pursue other things, but these changes were all for the better, as we refined our style and advanced our playing and song writing skills. Since that fall of 1998, we have come a long way with the Lord's guidance. We have played all over central Pennsylvania, as well as several shows in Maryland, West Virginia, Ohio, and New Jersey. We've also produced a 5 song EP CD, which is very high quality, despite taking only 2 days to record. It has been selling strong, and plans are in the works for our new album. God blessed us to record at a local digital studio (Skyline Studios) with Joel on lead, but with new and more powerful songs, we want do some further recording in the near future, thanks in part to a 24 hour recording package we won in a Battle-of-the-Bands. This time, Josh will be heading the line-up. Be on the watch for a new album, tentatively called, "The more things change". The Lord has greatly blessed us, and we trust Him to carry us through the future...
