Our approach is quite simple: create killer instrumental progressive fusion tracks that groove, rock and all but tear your left ear through your right while maintaining substance and melody. We feel that songs can not only be technical and complex at points, but should also get that "body" thing happening (musical term).
Our debut album has received rave reviews and we've just completed the writing and pre-production stage on a new one. Look for some updates on the release date and precipitous mayhem that will follow. Yeah, it's bad-ass.
We're very proud of the compositions on this one. Although the chops-heavy stuff is right in there, the melodies and harmonies have taken center stage...and it's a good thing. Even the pre-pro tracks are getting heavy rotation in our own CD players. Guests soloists will include Derryl Gabel and Vinnie Moore among others. Stay tuned.
Yo, is the cd at music wizard yet? also im tryin to sell my parker, yes, i am too lazy to purchase the 14$ piezo saddle, plus its time to move on... either gettin a deluxe american strat, or a BM i9.13, if u kno ne one lookin for one lemme kno or if u wanna trade b/c i figure ud fix it....

3X Dope 3X dope. Just chillin',grillin', and thrillin' you know. Where's the new 0's and 1's from the Zero posse? Off to make the dead presidents and keep it on the hype tip.
Thanks so much for the invite guys! You sound great - definitely got the "body" thing happening. Like a fine wine... letting it breathe. Great compositions too.
Whatever Buzzworth... You couldn't lose me as a fan if you tried!! I LOVE YOU GUYS! I would like to see the new cd out soon, but, you know, we've waited this long, what the hell....:)
