About Me

CLICK TO GO SHOPPING! We started out in '98 playing shows around Corpus Christi and south Texas. In 1999 we signed with Radical Records out of NYC and subsequently went on tour with Road Rage from England. At the end of that tour we stopped in New York to record our first cd "Feel the Pride" with Don Fury( Helmet, CIV, Sick of it All, Agnostic Front) sitting in the producers chair. Later that year we filled in for the Ducky Boys on tour with Blanks 77, L.E.S. Stitches, and Total Chaos. In Feb. 2000, the album came out and we went out again with Submachine and Inspecter 7. After that kids and job committments came along as well as a long search for a new bass player. In that time we managed to play two years in a row at the Midwest Oi! Fest in Kansas City. Along the way we've played with such bands as Oxymoron, Duane Peters and the Hunns, D.R.I., Vice Squad, Dropkick Murphys, Lower Class Brats, Aus-Rotten, The Exploited, U.K. Subs, Agnostic Front, The Explosion, It Dies Today, Murphy's Law, Flatfoot 56, Far From Finished, Rat City Riot, Blitz, The Business, Main St. Saints, Niblick Henbane, Ducky Boys, Hudson Falcons, Forced Reality, Beerzone, The Casualties, Pressure Point, The Queers, Union 13, Guttermouth, The Cuffs, Teen Idols and The Deviates. Now a few years down the line we are hungrier than ever to get back out and play to the crowd.
