Since the winter of 2000, this Washington, D.C. area band has seen
fourteen different members, two destroyed vans and countless broken
guitars. Soon after the release of their Equal Vision debut, "If They
Move... Kill Them" the band hit the road nearly continuously in support
tours for the record which included tours with Thursday, Recover,
Dashboard Confessional, Piebald, Zao, Grade, Strike Anywhere and
Further Seems Forever. Upon returning home in mid-December, the band
has solidified its lineup and begun work on its sophmore effort, "The
Treachery of Images". Dissatisfied and disgusted with the "emo" media
frenzy, the second record is an attempt to distance itself from the
palatable portrayal of contemporary punk music by blending the powerful
atmosphere of My Bloody Valentine and Sonic Youth with the angular
percussive ideas of bands like Slint and Fugazi. With a two week
all-house-show tour in the works and plans for several 7 inches and a
single for EVR, it should be a pretty interesting year.
More coming soon ...
