About Me

There are alot of things that we could tell you about us, but there is only one thing that really matters, we are on a mission to save rock and roll!
Right now we are a three piece garage/powerpop/punk band hailing from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. With enough melody and harmonies you would swear we're a boy band, guitar riffs that are left reaking of hot tubes, bass lines that are reminiscent of early McCartney and drums that keep it all together, you will soon be able to tell that our heroes are those of rock and roll royalty and those who should be (exploding hearts rip). We aren't afraid to be ourselves but we aren't afraid to show we love the bands who influenced us. If you love good old fashioned rock and roll with a good helping of equal doses of powerpop, garage and punk, stop by and say hello.
Booking/Contact Information:
We are up for any show at any venue with any style of band, country to death metal. So if you are interested in having us come out and rock, all you have to do is let us know. Contact us through myspace or [email protected]
