About Me

Bio: Sakes Alive!!
First of all, let’s be honest:
You know no small band is affording any copywriter to piece together the “perfect” bio to send off to press and media. So therefore, most bands look like pretentious and/or self-absorbed jerk-offs for writing their own.
Now that that’s off our chests:
Sakes Alive!! is a band of pretentious and/or self-absorbed jerk-offs that think they’re contributing something new to the ever expanding void that once was punk rock. Think about it! Bored, restless suburban teens who actually lived the filth and angst when hardcore/punk first came to be. Now? - privileged nancies who suffer through societal disaffection with iPods and blogging software. Damn.
So Sakes Alive!! doesn’t claim to be any different (haha), but we do claim to regurgitate noise with the most feigned enthusiasm we could muster.
Hello folks— we’re Sakes Alive!!, and we’ve come to redeem you all.
