pay for my rent and food that's all.

Our cd release show in march was awesome. there was a full house and we

chance to play with burning airlines who has j robbins of jawbox which

was awesome to watch and to share a stage with.

When I was 12 years old I bought my first electric guitar and amp. And I

wanted to be in a hardcore band so bad. I learned every sick of it all

songs and started to get a band together.

states. its all more than we ever thought that we would accomplish.
