Press Reviews "Sometimes you guys like to stop in the middle of a song, and take a little break, and then you come back in RARARARARARARA!" -Paul Hudson, friend to the band. "Last night's coffee house was a rocking success, featuring a whole host of school bands with music styles ranging from comedy to heavy metal. Special mentions go out to Local Shame who performed a very tight, focussed set (and who get louder and heavier every year!) and also to Felan Parker's [Collectibles] who seemed to have drafted in "Animal" to play drums and performed wonderful, angst-ridden ballads of love and confusion." -Nepean High School website
