About Me

Well, it all started around I think fall of 2002. Phil and Josh kinda tinkered around the basement playing and writing short, stupid songs with Jason and Dennis (other friends). Then one day we were introduced to Adam and Sabrina and we started playing with them. After we learned a few songs and wrote a couple as well, we decided to actually call ourselves a band. We went under the name A.D.D (a distorted diary). We originally had Sabrina on bass and Jason on back ups and screaming. When those two decided to go off to school we knew we needed someone to fill in on bass. Phil worked with Nick and knew that he played bass. So he said, "Hey uhhh... wanna jam?" and Nick said, "Uhhh... sure," AND A LEGEND WAS BORN!!!! Well, not really, we just changed our name and kept on truckin. So here we are now. We've played a bunch of shows and we are lovin every minute of it! We really try to keep our songs different. We like to write songs in all sorts of genres as to suit all sorts of people. We like to cover the entire spectrum of music. So come out to our shows! Later!
