Welcome to our own personal website.

Thank you everyone who came out on Sunday to the Rose Theatre, we had a great time performing, it was a great debut show.

We’re currently trying to get booked, so if anyone has any shows and are looking for a band to fill a spot, we’re currently searching.

Physical copies of our EP are just around the corner, all the artwork is finished and we’re just organizing a printing company now.

And I’ve begun demoing some new tracks we’re writing, listen for them at any of our upcoming shows.

Again, welcome to the page, and we hope to be playing in your area soon.

Peace and love
