The band first came together in Boston, MA in early 2006 and played its first show in June of that year (on 6/6/6!) They recorded 2 EPs and played around 20 shows in the Northeast. An album was completed in early 2008 with some band members and some studio musicians laying the tracks.
A relocation took place to Birmingham in Feb 2008 and a new line-up came together and played it's first gig at the Bar Academy, August 2008. The band now is Paul Collins, Jase Holgate, John kelly and Tony Wilkinson.

Hi John, Hi Guys, Much appreciate the words - recognition from fellow musicians is always special. We try to listen to all new friends work and like yours, especially "Mutineer", and the intro to "Fanatic" is mint. Welcome to the OST "Aficionados" btw. Thanks a million for the friendship and interest in our music. Peace and good wishes. OST.
