Its only a demo until it hits the streets......

About Me

We've been couped up in a dank rehearsal room in Manchester for what seems like forever, plotting and waiting for the moment where we could replace the 9 - 5 humdrum with a heart stopping bass-drum. Money for nothing ain't quite accurate and chicks for free is way off the mark. Slowly its come together and the ball is now rolling. We NEED to get some feet stomping fast.

We'll lead the way, you just enjoy the ride.
