My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 10/7/2005
Band Members: Isaac Turner, guitar, voxSteve Welch, drums Bob Cummiskey, bassAaron Smith, guitar Emily Hauser, guitar and singing
Influences: Rock music from America and Europe since 1950. Bob listens to some of that crappy emo shit, but we won't hold it against him. Ike owns at least one Louvin Brothers record. Steve is an enigma. Aaron meditates. Emily got hired on because she knew who Sara Lee was. Not the cake lady, either.
Sounds Like: Loud rock music. If you like rock and roll from the early 80's it might be for you. Or maybe not. Fuck if we know.

Record Label: Genuflect and an ep on Pride of Dakota
Type of Label: None
