I see on your website that your doing some recording soon making some videos & planning your own label. How are all the projects going?
That's a good question Kevin……. We plan to record sometime in April, details for that are still in the works, but we're sexy so we'll work it out! Oh, and yes, we recorded us playing naked, buying porn (or attempting to) and doing just some other pretty crazy stuff, like caroling! We plan on putting them up on the internet for downloading soon, and labels? Well that's just so we have a name and company to release our own stuff under, as well to let our friends use it too.

What are all your hobbies outside the band?
Keith - I play soccer and listen to music, Rick - I don't know…… Ryan - I play baseball and basketball, and video games! Aaron - baseball and eat! Mike - Smash Brothers!!!!!!!!!!! Dave - "intercourse" with Mike, that is all.

How did you form the band & how whould you describe your sound?
We were in a boyband as children, but then decided it was too commercial so we went to ska, and that is all. We play fast punk, happy sounding ska! (and a pinch of hardcore).

Does one person write all your songs or do you all have some input?
Everyone writes our stuff, we feed on the ideas that we give each other, the bass writes the bass, mike writes his lines, daves writes his guitar riffs, and rick creates the beats, we all work on lyrics.

If you could play with one band anywhere who would it be & why?
Reel Big Fish in our basement (because we are known for our great basement shows!).

How has being on Ontariopunk.com helped the band?
People leave messages on our boards saying they found us there, we've gotten an offer for a record contract, we've had an offer to be on a compilation, we get a lot of exposure from it.

For all the ladies out there, boxers or briefs? For the guys, whats your best pickup line?
Mike - boxers, so, whats your opinion on pedophiles
Ryan - boxer-briefs, "I have a penis…it wiggles!"
Rick - boxers, nice legs, what time do they open?
Keith - boxers, is there an airport near by? Or is my heart just taking off?
Aaron - neither (kinky), I'm brown
Dave - thongs, nice shoes…. Would you like to engage in a nice evening of the sex.

Where do you see the band in 5-10 years?
Jail………. Possibly PlayGirl .
