RISING UP RISING DOWN:
Our first goal is to write music that the three of us enjoy playing and sharing with everyone. We all have many different backgrounds of musical styles, (i.e. indie rock band Rockets and Bluelights, a spacie rock outfit Quintana Can Roll, an entirely drunk and often times offensive metal band Coldbringer, and countless other punk, oi and accoustic efforts.) but bring it all together in a fast paced grind/sludge that we hope offers listeners confusing yet hooked filled songs.
Our material has punk roots, but sounds in the vein of his hero is gone, deadguy, mastodon, nasum, cephalic carnage and similarly heavy bands.
This band has had some lineup changes but have had Justin(guitar/vox) and Dan (bass/vox/lyrics) on for the full life of the band while Este(drums/lyrics) has been on every recorded effort. Past member Mike(lyrics/vox) still sits in sometimes on vocals live and continues to contribute on recorded material.
