Blink-182, RUSH, Billy Talent, the Police, The Who.

What do you hope to achieve in music?:
As long as our music can reach one person and connect with them or make them happy that's enough for us.

What has been the highlight of your career so far, and why?:

Playing ALL STARS in Brampton, ON, where our vocals cut out halfway through the set.

If you had to pick just one of your songs to represent your music, what would it be and why?: 
Run Me Off The Tracks. It's got the energy that we all feel as misunderstood youth and deals with suppression and people telling you "you'll never get anywhere."
