This project took over 12 months to get off the ground due to Tim & Andy being
unable to find a suitable drummer & 2nd guitarist who could sing a bit.
Eventually, around October 2004 the current line-up was in place and work began.
However, an accident resulting in two of Tim's fingers almost parting company
with his hand, put a stop to proceedings for nearly four months, so it was
towards the end of February 2005 when we were able to get things moving
properly.
Since then, we have played a few gigs including 2 @ The Boardwalk & 2 @ The Grapes.The
music we play is a mixture of early punk through to recent drive thru stuff, but
all our material is melodic and most has plenty of harmony vocals.
As we span quite a massive age range, from 18 years to 40 something, our music reflects this. It also causes me a large amount of grief at times. Band disputes are one thing.......mixed with family disputes, things can get a bit hairy!! One of the pitfalls of having a son as a guitarist!! If I had a pound for every time someone thought that Scott was my brother I'd have about 4 quid.
We eventually found Nigel, our new drummer, so after a 10 month break we're now back in business!
UPDATE 10th NOVEMBER 2007!!
Gigs are now coming up on a regular basis, we're developing an awesome following and making new friends everywhere we play. Keep checking back for all details of upcoming gigs and join us for a great night!
Hey, we’re coming to a venue near you in July (at the Grapes with Population Lost, Kickback(TBC) and Urchin Child) so why not treat yourself to some Scottish ska punk – there’s even a free sticker in it for you! Hopefully see you there, cheers! x

Sorry mate I will be away for this one.But we will get to one soon. As I mentioned before I book all Friday bands for local club as per myspace and would love for you to play, but a lot of the crowd are more middle of the road. If you let me know a rough price I'll see what I can do and if you don't play at our venue I will get you some gigs locally. Then it won't cost me as much for a mini bus and everyone's a winner. Cheers Neil
