Sounds Like: All of us love the pop music and were prominently involved in the 1980-90s music scene. Hence, our sound reflects the sound of those years, yet we're always adding flecks of this and that we love and continue to rock and/or roll, depending on the song's subject. If you're a musician, you'll never be able to stray away: this is a warning!!
Record Label: green with pleasant little cracks around the edges
