Los Angeles trio with a bit of a Smashing Pumpkins fixation playing modern punk. Live, these guys are a pretty good group displaying copious amounts of energy. On CD, they're a bit more subdued and Ryan Martin's singing is just a little too much like whiny Billy Corgan of the aforementioned Pumpkins. The songs themselves aren't too bad, the production allowing the instruments plenty of room and giving them a large sound. I suppose if you're truly into the modern alterna-punk sounds, this demo CD is worth scrounging up.
