We are not a fashion band, and we are not a try-hard suburban band. This is not a hobby, this is our lives.
We care passionately about the music we make, and seek to play for promoters who feel the same way about good music.
Some of our influences include: Sonic Youth, Sleater Kinney, Electrelane, Can, Grant Hart, Unwound, Kinski, Explosions, Neubauten, Swell Maps, Jackie-O Motherfucker, Hangedup, Crime and the City Solution

If you'd like to hear us, there is streamed audio including newer songs on our myspace:

If myspace is playing-up, we've also got mp3s on our website
