Artist description Aggressive, yet melodic, musings on the nature of life and people in post-industrial capitalist society.Some songs are faster, some are more moody, but most are artsy 2-guitar punk/post-punk, with thought provoking lyrics (I hope).We alternate between being a performing unit and existing as a writing/recording project.
