About Me

This crew assembled in August 2007, having worked on previous projects from the heaviest to the happiest, with a new concept in mind. Out of the ashes of the heavy metal band, Halfsnapped, and the ska/punk band, Skadawgs, arose a new idea about making music that had a broader appeal to people who nowadays have as eclectic tastes as our own. On my iPod I have hundreds of artists and genres ranging through the spectrum of styles and beyond. On Saturdays I listen to Opera on CBC2. My point is that the world and music is changing day and night, especially night, and we wanted not only to make music but make some tunes we could believe in and do them in a style that resembled rock. Infusing my trumpet into the mix opened up so many doors for us stylistically into the realm of blues, funk, reggae, and my personal favorite home for a trumpet, ska. I believe that all music is beautiful and that if you have something that you have got to share, do it with blind abandon and every ounce of passion within you. Being such a new group we are still constantly getting to know each other musically and with every passing month and every new song we journey together into uncharted water playing music that is new to us and new to the world.
