Six or Seven years of grinding it out in a moderately successful punk-metal outfit from the nations humble capital will teach you a few things about life and rock n’ roll: American beer is cheaper than water. Disillusion runs thick in this business. Camping is free. The fans really do make it all worth while. Showers are not necessary. Money is to be burnt. And if you show up at a venue that has more urine on the rest room floors than tiles, and more stickers on the walls than free space, it's probably going to be a good gig. And unavoidably, you learn that change will occur.
We must not fear change. An accumulation of influence is embraced. And with music and in life, what was once simple is now complex. A song is created, sometimes in a single evening, yet it lives forever. It should be able to stand alone, and take you on an audio voyage. After all, let's put image, marketing, branding, and industry elitism aside, and be what it is that we always have been - song writers, performers, artists, humans following their chosen paths and loving it.
At some point in fall ’05 we fell in love with that wonderful woman named the road. She’s some kind of lover. We’ve experienced 10 provinces in Canada and 8 of the U.S. states in our ’88 Chevy Beauville, logging thousands of road clicks. We dig the rock, and the rock digs us. However, periodically you are home and you work, sheepishly. You adjust to normality, then enter the madness, and repeat.
Not a lifestyle for the meek, we’ve had our first lineup change with original bassist Justin Jarvo leaving the band in fall ’07 prompting an unexpected performing hiatus. After much deliberation, and 13 auditions, we invited a charming Nova Scotia lad named Peter Zdravko Dimov to slay the bass and join our clan. With the line-up finally solidified once again we’re back on the gig circuit and busy writing, recording demos and preparing to lay down a new album. With a handy $5000 winnings from local radio - LIVE 88.5fm, our next recordings are being healthfully supplemented...! Excellant! As well, we’re putting major focus on getting organized to resume our road wanderings in ’09 because we like to wail, party, travel, experience, create & inspire.
Let’s sum it up. We’ve got 2.5 albums behind us, over 300 shows logged, 12 000 cd’s in circulation, and a strong buzz building on the internet with over 100 000 plays; we have now released our new online sampler “Gnarwhal”, and we’re fully stoked with how it came out. There are so many more songs simmering on the back burner just waiting to be recorded. Additionally, our newest video “Hollywood Horror Show” is really awesome and gnarly and you should tell those swell folks at Much Music to give it a spin. We’ve been saying it for a while, so we can’t stop NOW, there is just NO OTHER WAY.
“There’s always a shred of hope. We’ll go on with our lives one day at a time.” –NOW

NO OTHER WAY - 3 NEW SONGS UP!'s Friend Space (Top 12)
Duders. I see you put Condor and Million online today! Good call(s). But hey... No Running and Shred The Gnar don't work anymore. You should write to Tom and get him to fix that. Or just re-upload them. Or take them down. Cause they look bush. And I'd bump Condor up to the top of the list of songs and select automatically play first track in your settings. "First Flight of a New California Condor..." The kids are gonna like that one. (and the birders...)
Hey hey hope you can spare the time to do this for us :D We've entered Black XS Livesound in the hope of getting a record contract at the end of it. All we need is for you to show your support on our page by signing up and telling them we rock :P
We have a brand new Split 7 inch out now. Check out a song off of it, Made Anywhere But Here, on our profile and then buy the god damn thing at www.rule22.com peace dave22
Hello! Please take a look at the newest episode of our
ongoing series! It features music from Danny Rocco and Seve vs. Evan. Let us
know what you think of it. We appreciate every review.
Some reviews from
episode 2
‘Good stuff-very
impressed. Has a very Kevin Smith, slightly 'Clerks' kinda feel-very good
writing. And with his mannerisms the guy in the black shirt reminds me a little
of Allen Covert from all the Adam Sandler movies.’-Travis Szudajski
