Artist description We're a garage band trying not to be a garage band. We play everything; punk, indie rock, funk, lo-fi garage, and really nice, hella depressed stuff. Hard Rockin' music with a political consience and, some say, a fightfully disturbing sense of humor.

Music Style punk, garage punk, funk, reggae, rock

Musical Influences bob marley, violent femmes, operation ivy, and lots of crappy old-school punk and ska

Artist History We were formed in 1998 in my bedroom. We moved into my garage when we suddenly realised it made more sense. My house burned down a while ago, and we moved into the "Erik's Other House", which is soon going to be torn down and rebuilt, and will henceforth be known as "Erik's main house". After that, we'll move back into my humble abode, which will hopefully be rebuilt by that time.
