About Me

Pretty Balanced goes crazy. Judith, Forest and Parker eat the world.

Conical Monocle is finally here.

Since 2004 the band concentrated very hard. It was young, full of teenagers, and felt around in the world of goth a little bit before settling on unsettling with a strong dash of cheerful and hyper. "Simon’s Sleeping" was on the Hot Topic exclusive compilation A DARK CABARET and then the band went platinum! Well, they released a first album anyway, a mere 500 copies, and then went on to get lost in New York City and shake their fists in frustration. Now they are older, still scrabbling up through the carnage of other local bands gone sour, screaming "WE WILL CONQUER, EVERY PERSON IN THE WORLD WILL SAY, WTF IS THAT, I’VE HEARD OF THAT!"

Please visit our forum for more free downloads and fun crazy times of doom.
