Ninjessa and all the Secret Art Space folks
Black Kites
Pat Duffy and Sierri in New Brunswick
Joe, Dan, Derek, Jess, and the rest of the nice people in CT
Rob Noack and the other Whacky Kastle dwellers
Skvlt and Lemmy for the hardest of hangs
Curmudgeon
Vaccine
Derrick Spotts
Grant and the Badlands
Mike, Jordan, Jono and the rest of the Buffalo badboyz
Bubble tea establishments everywhere

Zero thanks and mega fuck-offs to:
Sky in Boston
College pinheads and/or drunk morons
Bands that don't watch other bands


We're closing in on a partner for a split 7", so keep an eye out for that. We'll post any updates if we have any. Here's a video of us having technical difficulties in Boston:

First Post

So we've had this blog for a while but haven't done anything with it, so here it goes:

We are playing a few shows with Don't Budge this week:

05/04 - Columbus, OH @ the Legion of Doom
05/05 - Lima, OH @ the Leathershop
05/06 - Cleveland, OH @ the Tower
05/07 - Pittsburgh, PA @ Helter Shelter

We finally have demos available, too. It has 3 songs from the 7" that's coming out in a few months (see below) and 1 song that will be on a split with Slayer. We made 50 of them and you can pick one up at any of those shows.

The 7" is getting sent off to the pressing plant in a few days. It's coming out on Allergic To Fun and should be ready here in the mid-summer, hopefully in time for our dates with Buffalo's fantastic Rat Mask. More details to come.
