Influences: personal and group substance abuse......... Audiences/Fans/Friends have compared our sound to Pearl Jam, The Lemonheads, Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, Alice In Chains and Gomez...
Sounds Like:'a strangely varied mix of stuff, ranging from acoustic to Seattle-influenced rock, and with the vocals going from a soundalike Barenaked Ladies in the first track "Hey Mister" to Cobain-type vocals, passing through Soundgarden. The band have some good ideas,a very laid-back feel, and a good sense of dynamics'. -Eammon P. Keyes...www.fastfude.com
