about

"From out of El Paso, Texas. I am enjoying that the band sounds like a bunch of disparate instruments that don't quite go together, but manages to make it work. I picture a few friends getting together to play music with whatever instrument they had closest at the time. The guitars blast fuzzily and noisily, but then a tinkling organ pops in for a while. The drummer is getting out every frustration possible. Everybody is playing at full speed. The vocals don't quite go with the music either. They are stylistically closer to those of a 70's prog rock band. They float on top of the cacophony, but are just weird enough not to be annoying as that would seem. To quote the song "Exhumed 2 Soon," "It's a sense of joy and impending doom" Yee-ha!"

Quirky, strange art guitar... 60's garage meets at CBGB and finds a band needs to lead the nerd into the future with punchy uplifting tunes of crafted noise and meaning.... BUY THIS!! jofw
