Artist History The band was formed in early 2002 when all of the members who had previouly been variously active in the Racine, WI music scene found themselves independently relocated to Milwaukee, WI. McDonald possessed a number of home-recordings he had been working on as demos for the group to use as templates as the initial line-up began to include Schatzman, Paton, Kroes, and lastly Baus. Eventually McDonald's demos grew to be fully active and complet works with all members of the band contributing their own musical ideas. The band currently all live in the SE Wisconsin area and are actively writing, recording and playing shows.

Press Reviews "If you're into hardcore or were ever a fan of the alternative "grunge" sound (don't worry, this isn't a revival, they're doing their own thing with it) then do yourself a favor and pick this up. It's definitely worth a listen." - Alternative Echo "... the guitars are pretty much always playd tastefully, and even show some technical skill rather than just pounding power chords for three minutes straight. If I had to give it a 1-10, I'd give it a 7.5... all high-quality stuff..." - Didn'tthathurt.com
