About Me

We are broken up and not playing shows anymore. Ever. For real this time.

This Basement Is My Home: Live at The Coffee Shop (zip file)

We're an acoustic punk band from Pittsburgh, PA inspired by basement shows, substance abuse, and making fun of fundamentalist Christians. This started out as Scott's solo project and grew into a band as Erik lent his assorted talents to the mix and Chris and Scott K joined on drums and bass. We have a full length out entitled "If You Can't Sing It, Scream It" on The Atomic Family Records. We have it available as a physical cd, but it's also available for FREE download right here (although a Paypal donation is appriciated, see below)! Check it out!

The Pittsburgh City Paper describes the record as: "...irreverent acoustic punk [created] from guitar, drums and attitude. (And no, it doesn’t sound much like the Violent Femmes.)"

The cd is available on Interpunk
