now we can totally kick Resilience's ass

About Me

Jon and Muhammad were in a band called Bullet, Ray was in some crazy boot camp tough love potato torture hole, Ben was a grumpy old man who would smile briefly when he spotted a fresh cut punk rocker. One August day in 2000 we got together and wrote three songs, three weeks later we played our first show. Four years later not much has changed, we've rolled through a bunch of guitar players and have finally found Tom, who seems to be able to handle our long periods of inactivity punctuated by hyper-activity. We toured the US once, have a 7" on laidoff/del ninos records, have a couple songs on a couple comps, and a 19 song/18 minute demo CDR.
