A Virginia Beach Based hard rock outfit that didn't limit itself to a singular style. With a heavy focus on melody and strong songwriting, they enjoyed and were influenced by the bands of the late 80's/early 90's that were outside of the box (Fishbone, Faith no more, Red Hot Chili peppers, 24-7 Spyz, Kings X, Alice in Chains, Soundgarden) as well as mid 90's groups (The Deftones, Quicksand, Incubus). Created at a time before downloading, and before the era of the quick "sign 'n' purge" from major record labels devouring any half way popular group on an indy label or successful "My Space" page. Described as "a Rock band ... only without the crybaby wailings of a prepubescent un-rock star guy in tight women’s jeans looking like a denim "Romeo in Tights" with a feathered swooping haircut, sobbing and screaming about how his girlfriend just wants to be "Friends" (in a Sceam-o kind of way). Or maybe we sound like music, without the "Glamorous" money shot, airbrushed pop star, diva styled attitudes and ego's who are mainly mimicking jingly catch phrases that were written by some half talented "producer" coming accross like a flamboyant, self-absorbed, overpaid parrot-burrowing horrible ditties into your ear like an ice pick into your head all sung over and over a two-fingered keyboard "beat" again and again causing you to go "B-A -N-A-N-ANAS". ...and we write all of our own stuff. Return the rock, save the children... no wait, screw the children. They're resilient. They can take a hit" (obviously we are not thrilled with the current state of over marketed half-music...I'm talking to you Jonas Bros. GET A FRICKIN DRUMMER BEFORE YOU CALL YOURSELVES A BAND!"
