Summer 2018 Tour August 11, 2018
We leave in less than 2 weeks! Can't wait to get out there and show Toronto, Hamilton, Ottawa and Montreal how to rock East Coast style!
We are super excited to be working on our new album. Bass and drums are done. Guitars need 2 more songs and solos. Vocals starting soon. We couldn't have gotten here without all of you.
Fund if you can. If not a share and a like is also a big help to us. The perk that is our favourite is the show, with the pie in the face a close second :)

Attn fans! I hate to be the bearer of bad news but
