History
The band formed during the COVID-19 pandemic as a joint effort between David J. Cameron (guitar, lead vocals), David Parillo (bass, backing vocals), David Gould (drums, backing vocals) and shortly later with Dr. Hell (lead guitar, backing vocals), all of whom had been active musicians in the 1990s. Most of the songs and rehearsals took place in the respective musician's home studios, with the group exchanging tracks electronically. As seasoned musicians, the in-person rehearsals were instantly productive and their EP was recorded in two 8 hour sessions at Dereck Blackburn's Quitehouse recording studio (producer and engineer with Imogen Heap, Mr. Airplane Man, Mr. Twin Sister, etc. )

The band is presently exploring a local tour in support of the album and production of a series of animated videos for the songs of the EP.
