About Me

Fuck a "Band Bio".We're FAR too open minded and versatile to explain everything that we're about in one small fucking paragraph. And you'd have to be open minded in order to understand this. Which means if you need to read a sales pitch that a band's label writes in order to tell you how you should feel about a band, in order to develop an opinion, THIS MUSIC IS NOT FOR YOU.We play punk, ska, reggae, metal, a dash of psychobilly, a dash of acoustic-folk... We play whatever the fuck we want to play. And unlike the majority of punk rock, that doesn't mean we'll play three chords over and over, and we're at peace with it. No. We do everything we can to become better musicians each day, and we want to write good music that we, and our listeners, enjoy. We're strong believers that being talented at making music doesn't mean you have to become a pretentious douche who writes masturbatory music that only other musicians will understand.Our lyrics are sometimes aggressive, and sometimes silly. Sometimes they're about how fucked up a lot of the world is, and other times they're about something as retarded as the one-time-our-guitarist-promised-to-write-a-song-and-instead- ate-a-chicken-pot-pie. Sometimes a single song will be both conscious and funny shit. WE ARE NOT ONE DIMENSIONAL.We are pro-unity. We are anti-apathy. We are MANY things other than this, and you'll only see the many sides and philosophies we have if you LISTEN TO OUR MUSIC.So stop fucking reading this and go listen to our shit and develop your own opinion. Don't let others cram a fucking opinion in your head. You don't know who they are, what their agenda is, or what their intentions are. THINK FOR YOURSELF.

Influences: We're inspired and influenced by EVERYTHING we hear. What a lot of people fail to recognize is that there's two kinds of influence. There's positive and there's negative. Bands as blatantly corporate and greedy as anything on the pop charts, (you know, music made for the sake of money) inspire us just as much as our favourite artists do. They keep us going. They show us what NOT to do. We learn from THEIR mistakes. But as far as bands that inspire us positively in one form of another, a short list would be:Against All Authority, The Aggrolites, Big D & The Kids Table, Bob Marley, Body Bag, Choking Victim, The Clash, Common Rider, Dancehall Satan, Defiance Ohio, Doctor Steel, Dropkick Murphys, Flogging Molly, F-Minus, Gogol Bordello, Hepcat, Horrorpops, Lars Fredriksen & The Bastards, Long Beach Dub All-Stars, Long Beach Short-Bus, Left Alone, Leftover Crack, Matisyahu, Mindless Self Indulgence, Nekromantix, No Cash, Operation Ivy, Pepper, Primus, Rage Against The Machine, Rancid, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Slackers, Slightly Stoopid, Societys Parasites, Streetlight Manifesto, Sublime, Suicide Machines, The Brains, The Creepshow, The Distillers, Los Furios, The King Blues, The Left Rights, The Rebel Spell, Tiger Army, Tim Armstrong, Toxic Narcotic, The Transplants, NOFX, The Black Dahlia Murder, Flobots, Immortal Technique, Mouth Sewn Shut, The Matadors, Devil Makes Three, Bomb The Music Industry, Dan Le Sac Vs. Scroobius Pip, Wu Tang Clan, The Cool Kids, Suicide Bid, Sonic Boom Six, Linton Kwesi Johnson, Damian Marley, The Nightwatchmen, Star Fucking Hipsters, Muse, Dimmu Borgir, Ceremony, Slayer, Rich Kids on LSD, Ryan Harvey

"Happy Canada Day"

Couldn't think of a better day to bust out some of the lyrics to a new song... They may be more simplistic than usual, but that's intentional. We're simplifying things to make certain songs catchy. ...
