Bands that make us want to play music may vary by member but include: THE HUNTINGTONS, THE GOO GOO DOLLS, Blink 182, The Suicide Machines, The Ramones, Bolth, Mercury Radio Theater, Sam Eakin, The Clash, Squirtgun, The Monkees, Phoenix Bodies, U2, In the Face of War, The Lawrence Arms, Joy Division, The Remnants, Zebrahead, Joy Electric, Five Iron Frenzy, Blaster the Rocketman, and a whole bunch of others.
The desire to have fun is also a pretty big influence.
Influenced by Enema of the State and the Goo Goo Dolls as much as by Ramones-core bands, Highway Magic plays what has locally been christened Happy Punk. Approaching 150 shows in a little over 3 years, the band has become known for playing poppy punk rock at hardcore punk speeds, with an emphasis on energetic songwriting that goes beyond the norms of the genre.

$5 dollar admission, all proceeds and 10% of the bar benefits the
'Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation'. Did I mention it's also 25

With an assembly that includes members of Ministry (Warner Bros.) and Thrill Kill Kult (Rykodisc), it's obvious project .44 has a firm grasp on the aggro/industrial/tek metal scene...
