We play a mix of different types of music.
We play a mix of different types of music.
Why this name?
Jake came up with it because he is very clever and smart and likes physics, which the other guys don't understand because they are all dope feinds.
Do you play live?
Not yet.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Good for small bands like us, but it sucks for bands like Metallica.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Yup.
