About Me

Jason Henderson and Doug Campbell, us, grew up in the small town of Rio Vista. Today we live in the little bit bigger town of Lodi, although things are just as boring here. We both have a deep passion for music, so three years ago the idea of making songs sounded fun. At first it was idiot-simple punk songs, leftovers from what Jason had put together from his previous music projects. We had created over 30 songs within a month.
Three years pass, and now we're ready to start making music again. So far we havent made much, but we're definetly excited about it again. We dont exactly know what we're doing, we still have a LOT to learn, about everything that goes on with music, but we're learning what we can in the time alotted to us. The important thing is that we're having fun and doing what we love, music.

Big plans ahead: first show ever.

Since Doug's phone is off we havent been in contact much, but even when we are there's always a distraction around to keep us occupied from working on music. But I do have plans, so thats good. With&...
