This rock band from Louisiana defies the usual genre classifications. They classify themselves as grindcore and easy listening (they actually get the most plays for these two genres on MySpace), which is a tongue-in-cheek parody of their unique style. Their pixie female vocalist growls, screams and roars but also has the natural vocal range of a opera star - a great voice to say the least. These guys are superb musicians, dedicated to perfection and totally uncomprimising. I note that this EP is curently (6/11/2008) at #11 on the Sirius HardAttack list of top plays on the radio. A very tight band indeed, who clearly have a stellar career ahead of them and are as yet unsigned. This is a very high quality EP, recorded and produced by the band themselves in their apartment - it is an astonishing accomplishment for these kids in their early twenties from Shreveport, Louisiana.

I've not been following too much new American metal since I had a college radio show. So this was a pleasant surprise, especially since it was out of the context of the 'Hipster Metal' everyone seems to be so fond of complaining about.

Definitely the kind of music that you love it or hate it. Me, I laughed out loud the first time I heard "Kevin Bacon", and have been entertained since by most of their songs.

This band amazes me in ways i cannot understand. I have been playing music for years now and sometimes i cant even comprehend what these musicians are doing. I love it! The only band i could even come close to comparing them to is the number 12 looks like you but with a girl singer and electronics. I cant wait to see them play live.
