Artist History Started in a basement in Ottawa in 1993 where Chico Sinclair homesick for his beloved hometown skipped most of highschool to stay home and wank on his beloved Vector guitar(which has since been stolen)to try and capture that signature Vancouver sound to quench his homesickness. Instead it turned out to be a smashing pumpkins rip off. Almost materialized into a band but Chico wasn't satisfied with the collaborative results and like any premadonna shelved the project when his main collaborator joined another band and the drummer voted Motley Crue's 1994 self titled album as the album of the year then turned into an asshole. At one point it turned into a Monster Magnet/Helmet clone. The band was called everything from Terminal City Exiles to Hurricane Stomp to Point Blank to Ballistic Therapy. These old recordings have resurfaced later to be showcased on mp3.com as a reminder of cheesy early 90's alternative guitar rock. Someday these willbe rerecorded and released with a full band. Chico may soon look for others to join and write.

Group Members Chico Sinclair

Press Reviews Everyone that's heard Slow Children Playing (not on here yet) have loved it and wanted to collaborate. But nah. Nothing legit.

Additional Info Still writing material for an album(petty collisions) since 1993. it took my bloody valentine 6 years to do loveless, and also half a mil. The songs featured here are merely demos, so the sound quality is pretty bad.

Location Vancouver, BC - Canada
