About Me

Weve been around for awhile now boyo. We have had members come and go since highschool. The current line up now solid and as Jason Shades would say,"will rock your face off". We have opened for 45 grave, made fun of and opened for Michale Graves, and opened for Hg Lewis and his spoken word show. We played alamo drafthouse right before one of our favorite films , Return of the LIving Dead. We are in the works to make a full album with new songs and re-makes of some old ones that came out pretty fucked and ugly (somtimes you get what you pay for). See us live because we play better live than dead. thank you.
