How would you classify your music?
We are a pretty straight forward punk rock band. Usually categorized as "skate punk"
We grew up in the 80's/90's. All the old Fat wreck chord bands are a huge influence on our style. We try and keep it the shows entertaining and fun for everyone who took the time to come out and see us.
Is there any inspiration for the band?
Inspiration for starting the band was easy.
Jace and Ryan both new each other from other projects. I (Nic) had posted and add to try and find some band mates. We jammed once and things kinda clicked. So we kept it up!
We have 8 kids between the 3 of us, so finding time to jam has been tough. We all have alot of responsibles outside of this band. This band is also an escape from all that "day to day" that keeps all our time occupied. So we plan, and then we party!
What are your plans for 2025?
We have a tour. We are playing a bunch of new songs. If they sound good on tour, They are going on a new album. If they don't...they still might go on the new album.
We are planning to record this winter again with our good friend Jesse Bauer at Dark roast recording in Saskatoon.
What would be your dream collaboration?
Honestly we are so open to any ideas. Not just with the possibility of collaborations but with staying open to opportunities. We are happy to play with anyone, anywhere.
Metal fest? count us in. Back yard show?
Sure. Small town bar? Yup, we're in.
What advice would you give new artists?
WtF would we know. Lol.
Play. If your happy playing, keep it up.
Hard work pays off.
Anything else you want the viewers to know?
We love when people take pictures and videos at shows and post them. It only helps us. Unless its a videos of how terrible we are..
