About Me

Short and sweet: We are a punkrock band! (and I suck at spelling)
The long story: We play punkrock with melo-hardcore and (not so surprisingly) pop-punk influences. At some point we got more interested in politics and society and what's wrong with both, so we started writing songs about these issues instead of songs about farting bubbles in bathtubs while still trying to retain some of the fun of these old songs. We're failing misserably, I know.
We believe in sharing our music for free over the internet. We have every song we've ever recorded available for download somewhere. At least all the better ones! As every other punkrock band, ever, we state that we're not doing this for the money, we're doing it for the bruises and ringing ears. Fuck the music industry.
More songs can be found here *this is a link* or here: *this is also a link* suomeksi: *tää ois linkki*
