About Me

Formed in the magical land of Honduras in 2005 by young lovers Anderson and Shereen. Austin came over and made some noises. He is now in the band. Moved to Nashville in 2007 to hit it big in the Master's Degree biz. We plan to become strung out on smack and squeeze and have the metro area swallow us completely. Something about Nietzsche and gazing into the abyss should go here, I think. Then end it with something witty that entices them to listen.

Punch record. Yeah. Unh. Check it.

New song about the tragic war between Darfur and Lebanon.  Stop the violence, try some silence.  But first, listen.  Listen long and hard.  To our new song.
