About Me

The beast has awoken. The five piece rock band from Los Angeles has been laying low, but we're getting ready to return with a vengeance. We formed in 1999 and after playing the Sunset Strip clubs and self producing EPs for a couple of years, we made our major label debut and hit the road. We toured with Weezer, The Strokes, Sloan, The Sounds, The Donnas, Travis, Keane and many others. After our first record reached nearly gold status and yielded two successful singles, we retreated to L.A. where, after many hold ups, we recorded "Calling the World" over three weeks time. It's finally out now all over the globe. We update this page frequently so please enjoy!
