Herm, well, weve been described as menacing country music, but minus the country influence. And more screaming. Infact, we're not really like country music at all, so i'll just take that as an interesting observation. Our music is quite intense though. I wouldn't describe it as easy listening. I soppose you could say its depressing, but so's a lot of the world so thats alright. I wouldn't say it was boring, but then again, im in the band so i wouldnt. Thats no way to sell records and rule the world!
Why this name?
birth, money, school, drunken games
Do you play live?
We'll, half the band lives in Oman, and the other half lives in Scotland. And both halves play more than one instrument. So it's kinda hard. Live, the band always enjoys it more than the audience, and that i find kinda crappy.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
The internet is good. It dehypes music. No-one deserves more than an overweight teenager coming on before them and telling a joke and then woo, the band starts.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
"We are the dollars and cents, and the pounds and pence and the mark and the yen, and yeah we're gonna crack your little skulls."
You can take that as a yes, i soppose.

Band History:
We've not been alive enough. Erm, mostly the strangest things we've seen are waking hallucinations. Either that or car-crashes.
We're new. And you can tell us if we suck if you want to.

I couldnt answer for Rory, so you can assume away.

Equipment used:
A crappy convential rock setup, featuring resoldered jack leads, broken guitar switches and a bass drum with a hole in it. On the wrong side.
Anything else...?
John is me. And i play guitars and drum and sing.
Rory is he. And he plays guitar better than me and sings.
We make the action team!
