Conniption... Our goal is to be the biggest band in the universe since Wyld Stallions!
Our debut album/demo "A Method to Madness" is available online! It's a throwback to when metal was king. The idea is to take one step back, so as to take two steps forward. Good music is dying, so let's revive it.

Lookin' forward to the show with you this Friday!!! Did anyone speak to you about coordinating the drum set use or are we all going to use our own kits?? I only ask b/c we shared a shell pack at the semi-final show....Either way this should be a killer fuckin show....
My good buds in Strange Land are playing in chi-town that night, so I am trying to round up other peeps to join me to support you. I will be there hopefully with an entourage.
