We would just like to send out a massive thank you to every single person out there that has supported us and enjoyed our music over the past 11 years. It was your love that kept us going for so long. Unfortunately, the scene took it's toll on a couple of the guys and instead of trying to continue on with new musicians, we are instead calling it quits.



The best times of my life were on stage with these guys. 1200 person sold out show with Badfish, Being praised by Dee Snyder, Opening up for OK GO! before they were anyone and having them thank us for our fans. The absolute notorious Punk Rock Picnic where Ralph and our old Trumpet player Alan were hit by a car on the Indian Reservation (We STILL get asked about that to this day). The first time we hit the road to Titusville and Satellite Beach. Getting kicked out of Daytona Beach by Bikers. Getting threatened in Clewiston and being banned from returning. (That was awesome!) Skydiving together and playing a show afterwards. Going through High School together. Sticking it out through college. Growing up together yet refusing to grow up at the same time. Playing Fantasyland Studios and having a circle pit 3 songs in a row. Many, many, many more.



There's 11 years of good times. Feel free to stop by our page and leave a comment, we'd really appreciate that. Whether it is just sending us some love or writing about your favorite time with us. Again, thank you everyone for everything!!! We love you all.
