loud, fast, sloppy rock music is fun

About Me

WE ARE FLAWED BY DESIGN (that's deep, trust me)! We are a three-piece band from Austin, an indie pop-punk band with some low-fi sensibility. Most of what we play is pretty fast and melodic, sounding similar to Superchunk, the Pixies, Guided by Voices, the Replacements and the Ramones. We pride ourselves on energy-rich entertaining shows that include jumping around, kicking things over, breaking stuff, and ...blah, blah, blah...nobody reads this anywayOur line up is Mark on drums, Pete on bass, and Zach on guitar. We've all been playing our respective instruments for awhile, but just recently began playing together. Sometimes even that is arguable. All three of us are students: Zach and Pete are grad students at the University of Texas and Mark is an undergrad at Texas State.

Do you think any of you will ever date Sandra Bullock like Bob?

Dear Flawed by Design   Why do you keep making fun of Bob Schneider?!  He is a talented and fine human being.  If your shitty band had 2% of the talent of Bob, you would actually be goo...
