SEARCHING FOR THAT NEW SOUND

About Me

OK. so last year we released the album "SPOOKY FUN" with the single YOU ARE MY FRIEND IN FIRE [which recieved high rotation on JJJ] we then toured the country with the PANDA BAND, SEKIDEN, and THE ZOO BOMBS. then this year we toured with INTERCOOLER on their album launch tour [though for most of it we were minus our drummer TIM as he had a broken finger.] after doing these shows we decided to hibernate in VINTAGE SOUNDS to write all new songs together as a band for our next album which was a step ina different direction as ben wrote most of the music on the last record. what we now have is a heavier sound which is a strong collaberation of all the players involved and we are as happy as ever with the results! its psychadelic punk with a twist of pop. very happy indeed, we will go into the studio in august to start working on this...THE NEW SOUND.
