About Me

We're a rock band from Jersey City, New Jersey. We like good music and cool people, so if you're into that too you should add us as your friend.
So why should you know us?
Maybe you've seen us on Last Call with Carson Daly or heard our tune 'Dont You Wanna' on VH1. We've had some decent press in publications like Billboard and have had our songs played regularly on MTV, various movie soundtracks, and on XM Satellite Radio. In November we were a finalist in the 2005 Independent Music World Series sponsored by Discmakers. And in February 2006 we had our record release party at the Virgin Megastore in Union Square, NYC (more on that later!)
But enough about all that...
The BBC is all about our love for making music and we feel that our live show is the best way to see what we're all about. We play a lot of shows in the NYC area and we've also been out to California, Chicago, Boston, Las Vegas, and up and down the east coast and other good places around the country.
So what about the music?
Funny you should ask. Our new full-length CD is called What Happened Last Night and it's available right now, released independently by us for you. It was produced an awesome dude named Sal Villanueva, who you might know from his work with Thursday and Taking Back Sunday, just to name a few.
Starting to get an idea of what to expect?
Good, we knew you would catch on quickly!
