About Me

stoner-noise-grunge hardcore out of richmond virginia. stumbled drunkenly onto the scene in 2002, where we were met with limited applause by kids who were confused terribly by us. we believe that if you are truly passionate you can't help but play your tunes with your entire body. subsequently, after each set we are a completely unapproachable bloody mess. we are constantly touring and desperately seeking contacts around the country. love us. please, love us.
