About Me

S aid and D one... The promise and hope to justify the proverbial iron placed in the raging fire they've come to know as the music industry. With an indie release that saw the group travel across the country, sharing the airwaves with many acts they grew up listening to. It will now attempt to fuel this smoking steam engine into uncharted waters. All born into small town Alberta, this crew was raised on rock. Each member of the group playing various roles in different bands through the years. After a short stint as a cover band, the group began to play their own tunes. This turned into one demo, which then turned into their first full length album. With this record, the group saw their way to radio airplay across the country. The single "Jay's song" topped out at ..2 on Sun Fm's charts in Grande Prairie. Jay's song won the regional portion of the "National song writing competition" at Cjay 92 in Calgary, Ab. Four of the tracks from the album made their way into Rexall Place as back ground music between plays at Edmonton Oilers' games. All this being said, the future looks even brighter... A new album is born.. With immense pressure to top their indie success, they are set to seek out the next level. The new album features a maturity and diversity not yet seen from the dt camp. Songs about love, hate, fear and loathing. The intensity of emotions we all share. No gimmicks or cheeze. Just the product of four relentless Alberta boys living their dreams. It has been said...and it will be done.
