Artist description This new Tacoma, WA based indie-rock trio blends traditional DIY indie ethics with all the idealism of contemporary underground pop. Playing all original material, their influences include Cursive, The Velvet Teen, Bright Eyes, The Cure, Pedro the Lion and Cross My Heart. The basis of their sound is the interplay between ornate melodies and arena-sized rock. Their debut EP, “Purity” reached the Top 30 on Tacoma college radio station KUPS less than a week after its release in May 2003. Released by the band, it has since sold out its first two runs of production through extensive promotion and consignment in local record stores. Their emotive, energetic live show has landed them opening slots with bands like Rocky Votolato, Paperback, Eyes of Autumn, Kane Hodder, All But Screaming, Society Club, The Few, Autumn Hates Winter, and the Mazarene Heartbeat Clock.

Press Reviews 8.1.03 "While the band likes the powerful numbers, softer moments are where the band’s aptitude could undeniably excel. This is uncontaminated Emo music packaged by a trio focused only on their music and not their status." -Vaden, band review from nw-radio.com.
