About Me



You won't hear us bragging about how we're "...the next big thing...", "...Mlwaukee's only...", or "...never before seen..." because we aren't. It's all been done before. It's just a matter of listening to what you like, what motivates you, and what touches you. No bullshit here. The recordings you hear on MySpace, don't do us justice. Come check us out live. We promise, we won't let you down.

Insomniac Ink
Sounds Like: The soul of 70's rock, the power of 80's metal, and the frustration of 90's grunge. Rock and roll. You can read our influences above and do the math, decide for yourself who we remind you of.

The Hyak-Banner, don't be a pussy.

MOMBOB - The Results

A coin toss, that's what it came down to.  We tied with Deflection 47-47 and they won the coin toss.  It's a good thing that most of our fans had left, because things got kind of heated for ...

Why the delete?

Pretty sure no one is going to notice or care, but I went through and cleared a lot of our "Friends". Why? Because we are a local band in Milwaukee, WI and the odds of us playing in Kentucky, Arizon...
