We have been together for in excess of 10 years. We've won many competitions which include opening up for Bon Jovi at the Air Canada Center. We also won another contest called the "Garageband Faceoff" which aired on 12 major US radio stations and featured 25 bands out of a possible 35 000 bands. On our myspace page we have a personal letter from George Martin (producers of the Beatles) congratulating us on the "Garageband Faceoff" win. And we've been placed on countless compilation CD's. We are currently working on a new album with producer Mike Borkosky (ill scarlet, low level flight) which will be released in early spring of 2008. You can preview some of the material here before it is released. We are a hard working band who is willing to do what it takes to succeed!

How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It's a great avenue for bands to utilize to get their music heard. If people really enjoy the music they can build a fan base and make a living through other ways other than actually selling music.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
If the deal sounded good and the contract worked for both parties than of course.
