Death to false rock.

About Me

Formed after Simon Whittal moved from his hometown of Hereford to London with a shed load of songs under his belt. After several disasterous line-up's, Simon eventually met South African Rob Bayley (Bass), and Henri Anundi from Finland (Drums). They recorded a 3 song demo ("Vacant Mind", "Sleep In The Dark", "Sound Of Speed") on an 8-track Portastudio in late 2004, and then started gigging the London toilet circuit.

The first ever gig was at the Dirty Rider Club in Kilburn. That turned out to be quite eventfull when a full-on bar brawl broke out half way through one of the songs. Apparantly it was started by some local Chavettes. You should've seen it. It was like one of those completely ridiculous bar fights you get in Clint Eastwood films, or an episode of The A-Team, girls throwing bottles, the lot. What did the band do? Well they carried on playing of course. It kind of went with the music to be honest.

After several more gigs, Henri quit the band and moved home to Finland.

The band began auditioning new drummers, and eventually found Chris Benton from Essex. They were soon gigging again, opening for bands such as Slaves To Gravity, Spit Like This, Neils Children and Get Amped. They've just completed their 2nd demo (Jan 07) which you are now hopefully listening to. It was recorded by Lester at Ignition Studios in Finsbury Park.

If you havn't seen them live yet, make sure you do, their gigs are pretty full on. And if you like what you hear on this page, don't forget to spread the word...If you're not into this myspace thing, you can join the mailing list at [email protected]
