80 Shilling

Too much rock for one hand...

About Me

Bass-less line-up formed mid 2005 when the previous singer left the country (the lengths people will go to...). Finally found a great bassist in July 2006, and now preparing to ROCK at a venue near you* soon! (*if you live in the Chester area that is, for the first few gigs at least)

Currently having fun tackling a wide range of covers (see 'sounds like' section) and beginning to write our own stuff.

We now have our own email address so you can contact us and we can keep you informed of the latest goings on .. please add us on:
