We started this disaster back in 2001 with the dissolve of Life's Halt. Charlie had some songs written and presented them to Todd and Ryan. Rehearsing with Eric Butterworth on drums and John Westbrook (of Life's Halt, Knife Fight fame) on 2nd guitar, we put together about 6 songs. Then we picked up Gearbox on drums (formerly of Total Chaos). He was a sure fit. In late 2002/ early 2003 we played our first couple of shows. During this time, we recorded an 8 song demo for an upcoming 7'' on Lengua Armada records. Our first show was at a bar near Cal State Fullerton. Then we lost John, only to pick up Jeff Capra (MANU MIDGET!) of Holier Than Thou, Up Hill Battle, and so many other bands you wouldn't even believe it. Now the lineup was solidified. We continued to play out, some shows at the Smell, Santa Ana Cultural Center, Showcase Theatre, the Prospector and more. We then recorded again with Nick Jett at Blood Tracks. This time, we laid down 11 songs for a 12" ep. All that's left now is the vocals (Hurry up Todd!), which is still going to be on Lengua Armada. Then unfortunately Ryan (bassist) had to make a move to Seattle. When things were looking grim we were blessed to have the multi talented Ben Edge (formerly of Fields of Fire, currently also in Bad Reaction) join up and agree to playing bass (even though he is a ripping guitarist). He filled in on our first out of town show in Santa Cruz without even getting to practice with us and kicked ass. He has since become our newest brother in arms.
So that brings us to today...We will play anywhere, anytime with anyone for the most part. Thanks for your support, now GET IT IN THE PIT!
