Please tell us about the history of your band and its members.
We all played in local bands, those bands were terrible. So we decided to harvest the best members of each and cook up a little something special.

How would you describe your style? Which bands influenced your music? 
We like to refer to ourselves as Progressive Groove. We have a lot of influences ranging from Sikth to Queens Of The Stone Age. Nothing is off limits from us. If it’s unique it probably influenced us.

Why should a metalhead buy your demos/albums?
Our albums are heavy all the way through, but they’re different from anything we have yet to hear. We don’t want to listen to or recreate something that has been done a million times over.

What have you released so far and how were your releases received by the public/media? 
Our first album came out a hundred or 7 years ago. It was well received despite being a DIY independant brand new band. ‘Nature. Humanity. Machine.’ can now be found in thrift stores across Canada. Seriously, we got a lot of positive feedback on the internet. We’re hoping the new release will appease our old fans as well as draw in a new audience. 

Do you play live as well? How's your live activity so far?
Touring our first album did a lot to help establish us as an active metal band in Western Canada. We love playing live and always put on a high energy show. We’re all extremely out of shape and usually leave a lot of sweat on the stage. Good times.

What should labels/zines/promoters know about your band? Why should they be interested in it?
We’re trying to do something different, not reinventing the wheel, mostly groovy but still innovative. We’re a tight band, very entertaining live show, and always up for touring. 

What plans do you have for the near future as a band?
Release new album, ‘Deadweight’ on May 5th, 2017. After that we’ll see you on the road, bud.
