Sedatives

About Me

If you must know, SEDATIVES was thrown together in mid-2007, comprised of the most forgettable members of Ottawa heavyweights Buried Inside, Last Communion and the Million Dollar Marxists as well as Calgary no-goodniks the Cryptomaniacs. The resulting clash of record-collector nerdiness, marginally-talented instrumentalism and painfully-good looks will ideally quench your thirst for moody, upbeat punk rock whilst leaving your trousers pissed and your fist pumped. If not, sorry. Probably you'll be pretty stoked, though.
