Three guys, one loud guitar, one loud bass
guitar, a straight drum beat and a lot of joy. That's what is all about.
Some people say we're a punk rock band. Other people say we're too diverse
for a punk band. It doesn't matter. We play Rock 'n' Roll and that's it.
Good old Rock 'n' Roll... You may notice an inch of punk and you're not
wrong 'cause we have the feeling. You may notice an inch of metal and
you're not wrong 'cause we have the power. You may even notice an inch of
pop... and an inch of... whatever... IT'S ONLY ROCK 'N' ROLL ... For the
good and for the worst and we fucking LOVE IT!
