who is the biggest influence in your musical career?

All of us, having been in bands of various genres, our biggest musical influences are varied, ranging from Madball, Integrity, Cro-Mags, Pantera, and Hatebreed, to bands such as Isis and Megadeth, among others of course.

what is your favorite part of playing shows?

Our favorite parts about playing shows are meeting new people and exposing our music to these people. Also, the connection between the band and the crowd is indescribable.

do you any plan to be going on any tours?

In the future, we would like to go on a weekend tour or even a small east coast tour. However, our ages are holding us back from touring. We are definitely interested in making this possible though.

How did your last show sept. 3rd go with Anguish?

Unfortunately due to inclement weather, we had to drop our September 3rd show with Anguish (this was actually the first show that we had to drop on such short notice). We do plan on making up for this after we complete recording our EP, which should be done in a few weeks.

what was your inspiration for writing the song "on your own"?

James: Honestly, that song isn't one of our favorites. It was put together in the first couple of weeks of us being together, but, my inspiration was everybody telling me for the past couple of months/years that I basically had to become more independent. It's about doing things by yourself, for yourself, and that you can't be babied. You have to grow up sooner or later.
