The bands sound is a fusion of "New Wave, Techno, Dance, Electronica, Goth, Industrial, Funk, Classic/ Hard Rock, Blues, Punk, and Emo all rolled into one. All the songs featured on this page are "Copyrighted" under "FINECRAFT RECORDS / DESIGN & MERCHANDISING.
TAKEN BY GRAVITY HISTORY: It was May of 2009 when JP, Marie, and Sunny decided to form a band that would link their personal influences together in a very modern experimental way. From New Wave, to Punk, To Electronica, and Hard Rock. The bands DEBUT show at the OBAR /CERRITOS under Pinoy Bato Production June 12, 2009 was a huge success. Which cemented their reputation as one of the bands to look out for. The band is currently looking for a permanent "Bass Player" to complete the line up, and also song materials for an upcoming full length album. Pls. stay tuned. The journey has just begun.
We will be uploading music after more decent recordings has been completed.
