We started in December '06 practicing and writing songs with the founding members Ben Burrill {guitar}, Justin Bertilson {Bass}, and Mark Jagnow {Drums} in place. 2 weeks after the founding of the band and the first few practices we found Alex. There was little doubt about his ability to sing and scream and we knew he was the one we needed. After adding Alex we spent the next 7 months writing and tightening up our first set while playing some shows here and there as well. In May we began talks about recording an EP with Jules Hodgeson of the popular industrial band "KMFDM" and also of the local Seattle party rock band "The Spittin Cobras" Jules was very interested in the project and so recording began in July of 07. After a month of recording the EP was finished...It was released to high praise. Jules was thrilled with the outcome. The EP also got the attention of Experience Music Project when they recruited us for the Sound Off! battle of the bands show. Following the Sound Off! we were featured in the entertainment section of Everett Herald, Marysville Globe, and The Arlington times as and positively mentioned in the Seattle times and The Stranger. Following the publicity of the EP and The Sound Off! We decided to add another element to our live show by adding Tyler Myklebust as rhythm guitar in May '08. Tyler brought to the table a high energy stage presence and another guitar to add to the overall sound. After the addition of Tyler we continued to write songs and play shows at places like El Corazon, Studio 7, and other local venues. In July of '09 we started the recording of our first full length album titled "Not For The Faint Of Heart" release is to be announced.
