About Me

We are Punk Rock. With all of the trends, sub-genres, and other bullshit that goes on with in the punk community we try to keep our music genuine. We play and sing about topics that we truly care about. We cover a variety of topics including politics, friendship, love, environment, hoplesness, and hope. But we do not let these topics define us. We also are diverse in what influences us. We are 4 differnet people with 4 different musical backgrounds. All of them are based in the sub-genres of punk. People have said that we are metal, hardcore, power violence, crust, thrash, old school, etc. People have said that we remind them of 7 Seconds, Minor Threat, Black Flag, Void, Wasted Youth, Sodom, Youth of Today, Hatebreed, Blood for Blood, Nausea, Econochrist, Discharge, Los Crudos, etc. However we are not those bands and we are not those sub-genres. WE ARE PUNK. And we are punk at its most raw. We believe in and support the DIY culture. Not this lazy computer/Ipod based bullshit that most people have come to associate with punk. We do not care about making a lot of money, or how many friends we have on myspace, or even playing whatever bullshit trend is popular right now within the punk rock community. We care about making honest music and making our voices heard, even if it is to the 2 people who stand and watch us while everybody else is standing outside. You do not have to like our music, you do not have to like us. But while all of the other bands are changing their sound and style with the trends we are going to remain the same. Playing what we love the way we want to play it.

RAZORCAKE review of "Even Heroes Have To Die"
