Artist History Starting in early 1995 as a punk band, we cycled through more members than Menudo. By the time we solidified the line-up, we were down to a three piece power-trio playing in an almost entirely punk rock scene. We were tired of playing the same old thing over and over again, so Brodie and I started throwing in music theory we didn't quite understand at the time. It was a lot of fun, we recorded in an actual studio (not a garage!) twice, played a bunch of shows, and broke up. Anyway, I joined Headboard a couple of days after we broke up. Nate's in the band now too. Brodie now focuses on strange experimental digital music. Life goes on. There's still something about all this, though, that surprises me…

Press Reviews "Most of (this) reminds me of "Subject to Change" era FAITH. Especially the vocals. It's weird. Other times it's like HÜSKER DÜ, especially on the second song which sounds a lot like "Game." Grabs you for four songs worth. (LH)" -Maximum Rock'n'Roll, March 1997, Issue #166 "With each song they increase the power. It starts out as a fast JAWBREAKER with weird whiny vocals and each song gets faster. I dig these guys, they seem to know how to get me goin', dancin' in the aisles. - W" Annexx #11
