Why this name?
After fronting THE HOAX INC. for ten f***ing years...He f***ing deserves it!
Do you play live?
With a full band, a bluesy trio or all by himself...Sheldon Rourke will play the corner deli & still make it an event worth not missing!

Over 1000 shows played...100's of broken hearts...and an appetite for destruction(& beer)...Pickup MIND OF DESTRUCTIVE TASTE...it's written in blood,sweat & tears!
