Artist History We first started out in '98 with Raj Aralambulam on keyboard, Steven Czerwonka on drums, Chris Murray on some trumpet hor thingy, and Daniel Brenndorfer on guitar. That didn't last long though and it quickly changed into Raj on drums, Steve on bass, and Dan on guitars and vocals. We didn't play at much shows we mainly just mucked around and stuff until 2001 when we played on the atomic stage at parachute festival. Up until then we had mostly played punk music, and we decided that we wanted to get into more of a hardcore/metal kindof sound. So we played at a couple of shows in Hamilton, and then at Hamtown Smakdown 2002 Raj decided to leave to put more time into his "schoolwork". So daniels bro mark joined our band and became the drummer. Then he had a car crash... but he is ok now and he will be able to walk again. So now we have Josh Turner as our backup drummer for a while... maybe...
