About Me

It's members comprise of Afton Rhodes on vocals, Kev Curtis on 5 string bass, Adam Healey on guitar and Rolex on drums. The band got together two years ago, and started recording their debut album "In Dog We Trust" in Summer 2007. The album has now been released! and is available for download via Itunes, Napster, Emusic, 7 digital & Many more.

The songs on this page (also featured on "In Dog We Trust") were recorded with the help of severalhundred cups of tea, a modest amount of coffee, the entireBrazilian export of hot chocolate, and the patience of a saint (aSaint Bernard, that is). They hope you enjoy their songs,refreshing beverages, and all things wholesome.Peace & respect
