Artist History Entering our 6th year overall as a group and our 5th with sights of conquesring small non-industrial nations. We've had our current line-up for over 4 years now and don't plan on changing anything in the near and not so near future. Originally we were a funk/ska group in the back of Dan's (our guitarists) head. Then grew into a 2tone ska/swing heptet, and finally into a 6 piece rock-ska band influenced by reggae and metal. I wish I could just say that we're 'rock' or 'alternative', but if I said that and some one listened to our tunes there would be much room for debate. Our goal is to continue straying all over the musical spectrum and creating original tunes that make us smile.
