Describe your sound. Who are your major influences?
We’re an old school style hardcore band. Influenced by mostly New York hardcore bands like Sick of it All, Sheer Terror, & Madball.
When did you form your band?
The band was formed by Vocalist Vino in late 2008 however we didn’t become a real band till Jay joined. We’ve gone through a lot of different members in a short time, but this line up is the best we’ve had by far.
What inspired you to make music together?
We’re just four friends trying to have a good time & provide a release from the everyday bullshit we all have to go through.
