About Me

We are an original modern rock/alternative band from the Rochester, N.Y. area. Our style is difficult to place really since it has elements of Rock, Alternative, Metal, Classical, Acoustic...the list can go on forever. One nice thing about our diversity is that it gives us a huge palate to work with while combining songs of dark and light nature. One consistent aspect with our songs is they are all truly felt and is a type of autobiography of sorts, though the moods have a great range to them.
