NEW ALBUM, EMOTION SICKNESS DUE IN FEBRUARY, IS ADAM RETURNING??? (12/16/07)
With the last few months an utter waste of everyones time, and the fact we haven't played a show in 2 months, but we still always have people asking us when we are playing again, we have decided it was time to stop writing (we have written a whole new album, that we will record in the summer) and time to get back to the stage...as we are currently drummerless, negotiations are now open between Adam, Nick, Neil, and myself...i will not get people's hopes up until we are all in the same room again...fallouts suck, but reconciliation is amazing!!! As for Emotion Sickness, it is due out in February, and it is currently being mastered (for all you peeps who dont know about the recording process, it's tedious and traumatic and mastering raises volumes so they are even throughout and gives the songs an equal EQ and compression, so nothing is out of place: the songs on our page right now are 2nd mixes, we did around 40-50 mixes of each of the 6 songs...so imagine how they are going to sound)...We have to give mad props to the following people who helped make Emotion Sickness reality: Rob "It's a HIT!!!" Ray, Pete "Colt" Coletti, Mikey "D" Dumont, Insane Apparel, Barry "If it's wet, it was because i'm British" Vista, The Hills (not that stupid ass show with that Spencer fucker, Adam's rents), Soulja Boy Tell'em for his help on writing 2 of the new songs and mixing "lew alcindor (remix)", Zac Efron who does back up vocals on "you ain't right...", Ryan Seacrest for taking a chance on us, and of course with out a doubt, YOU!!! Because without y'all, why would we be??? Love Kenny!!!
"ALL THE GREAT LINES" VIDEO TO BEGIN SHOOTING IN JANUARY!!! (10/6/07)
Yeah we are making a video, and YES it is true we have been contacted by 3 major labels...and so the quest to play in your neck of the woods comes closer to fruition...we have made great contacts and amazing relationships with SIRIUS Satellite Radio, Fuse TV, and Viacom, who owns MTV, MTV2, and VH1...we have a great concept for the video, which will be filmed by some major player in the industry (dont want to jinx it, but our manager Barry Vista says "it's bloody good!!!") So as we get ready to release the album, shoot a video, and basically get ready to do this for a living, we have to THANK EVERYONE, who has come to a show, bought a shirt, left a comment, told a friend, said we sucked, said we were amazing, said we sounded like u2 (still my favorite), and generally just motivated us to do this!!! Love is YOU!!! we know where we come from, and will NEVER forgive those who've trespassed against us, wait, uh i mean, NEVER forget those who have helped us!!! Mad love from ya boys...k,a,n,n, and barry vista, that bloody wank!!!

PRESS AND RELEASES:
"Dank Effect started the night out and set the mood for the rest of the night. It was impossible to look away from the stage with their great stage presence, funky grooves, and high voltage energy." -Max Power, Emergenza Music Festival
"Like the calvary dank effect came in with a full contingent of audience in tow and put on a great set of their funk tinged alternative rock." -Mike Ferrari, Aural Fix (first magazine cover appearance, Oct. 2006)
"Back in high school, I knew kids who would ask, “Did you get the dank?†wondering if you scored some pot. Then they’d smoke and stare at a television; however, the dudes from Rocky Point’s Dank Effect clearly have more motivation. These guys took the stage with a Southern Cali vibe, blending reggae, funk and punk into a drink that’s best served chilled. And that’s how most of the set was – chill. They did, however, flirt with some alt rock tunes, not to mention took it back to when punk was hard, fast and in your face. Quick notables include a hell of a front man and vocalist who amped the crowd, and a bassist that could belt out a chorus as if he was on lead mic. Put on Dank Effect and fire one up!"-Dan Gluckman-Playgroundz.net
