About Me

We grew up playing punk rock and recording on boombox tape decks.

A year of experimenting with different recording and mixing situations at our homes has resulted in our upcoming 2nd full length, "We Make Our Own Bad Luck". It is finished and will be released soon on limited cd, lp, art book w/download, and cassette tape.

We are in the middle of a third album right now.

We would like to come to your town sometime.
