About Me

2008 Warped Tour Ernie Ball Battle of the Bands Winner!
**UPDATE**
We have completed the demo-ing for our brand new full length record "It's Unattractive to Say These Things". We're currently shopping producers and will be heading into the studio to begin tracking asap so check back often!
We're crazy-psyched for how great these new songs are sounding and we really think you're going to love the new jams. Until then keep spreading our Paul Leavitt (All Time Low, Circa Survive, Senses Fail) produced: "So Here's to Us!" EP like the STD's Brandon swears he doesn't have.
Also look for our brand new website to follow shortly where you'll be able to stream the entire entire record, not to mention we'll include our entire back catalog with some hidden goodies and b-sides that didn't quite make the cut for the new disc.
Many more updates to follow. Continue to spread the music, and as always...if you've got the time, the love.
