Uhhh let's see... at times: Thrash metal? Hard Rock? Nu Metal? Groove Metal? Maybe just "groove?" if such a thing exists. Adult Contemporary? Gangsta' Rap?
Anything ending in the word "CORE" OH! How about "POP-CORE" ?
JUST LISTEN TO A FUCKING SONG! It should be playing RIGHT NOW! Call it whatever you want! Fuck!
How about "Extreme Easy Listening?" or just "Dissonance?" Look that one up if you have to.
Check out these videos from our show with PSYCHOSTICK!!
Penguins with Shotguns is an original hard rock/metal band out of the Chicago/Milwaukee area. A very fun and proffessional band that always throws down on stage AND at the after-party ;-)

how was the Jordan Music thing?...I wish I could have made it....sorry about the delay on the Brat show...that Shawn dude who does all the booking is taking his sweet time getting back to me...I stopped in there Friday night to talk to him in person but he left already...the last thing he said to me was he needs press packets from all the bands wanting to play...I didnt know bands even used those anymore...it is the year 2009...i told him to check out everybodys myspace..simple enough...or so I thought.
Sorry i missed you guys on saturday. no doubt in my mind you guys kicked ass!!! i'll see you at the next show definitely. HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRYAN! =D ya dont need luck for darts tonight.. so just kick ass!
Hello gents! You guys should go on tour...what's the hold up? Music is great and so are your shows. You need exposure! You should own Chicago and Milwaukee by now! Peace.
you guys should def. put your stuff on unsignedbands.com..I just spent an hour listening to bands from wis. and there wasnt anything even close to you guys ,,,,Screamer s on there...even though only one member lives in wis....theyre good for old school progressive metal but most of it was pretty weak...you guys would really stand out ...so to speak....i heard bands have gotten signed from posting on garageband.com also...worth checking into !
How randomnly a written rhyme was sent my way, in the form of typed messages on this gloomy day. i wonder just now who is your poetic self and is you have what it takes to rebell against the norm and continue to rhyme stand against the strom and look out for the signs.
