blasting the rocking dance floor


An amalgamation of five kindred spirits ready to smash up any dance floor with the unrelenting promise of garage punk — pop punk fun! Arriving in the local underground of fun city in late 2006 quickly spreading their bouncing blast of both chaos and harmony onto the public.

Twelve songs were recently recorded at Black Rectangle and Afterlife Studios in Vancouver. Ten of these will appear on Lake of Tears, their second LP expected out this summer. "We've evolved both musically and lyrically over the last few years. Hopefully the new record reflects that. We've sought out inspiration in rock and pulled away a little from the simplicity of straight-up punk," says guitarist Stephen Moore. It will be both colour and black vinyl. "The new album is going to be a split release by Nominal Records and Deranged Records,” explains Moore and a 7-inch is also coming. Plus a video for an older song and band favourite “1983,” is also in the works.
