We do play live, in our hometown of calgary and yes we like it.

We are hard rock with punk and heavy metal elements. Most of our songs have a couple main transitions, spacey riffs to hard choruses. Our influences are many including Tool, Limp Bizkit, deftones, Papa Roach, incubus, and Rage Against the machine.
