About Me

We've had the honor of sharing the stage with some of our favorite bands like dashboard confessional, lifehouse, shinedown, hawthorne hieghts, matchbook romance, silverstein, early november, quietdrive, cute is what we aim for, all time low and houston calls. Our last full length record "anywhere without you" charted as high as 18th in the country on the radio charts.
