Having had their songs described as 'great', 'catchy', 'interesting', and 'almost perfect' by local reviewers, it's no wonder version won the best song of the CFOX Demolisten Derby competition in 1997. Since that time the band has been winning over a legion of supporters with a smokin' live show and, recently, with the release of their debut CD. The Vancouver based 4-piece, comprised of mark brooks (vox), george heras (guitars), kyle radomski (drums) and jeremy scott (bass) will be back in the studio soon, having recently been awarded a FACTOR recording grant. Killer tunes, a ton of experience, and huge pants. What else do you want?
