guitar/vocals: danny, bass/vocals: al, drums/sunglasses: gb

in like april or may of 2009 gb texted me and said that him and danny started practicing and had a few songs and wondered if i wanted to play with them. i thought that was weird because the most i had seen danny since high school was bumping into him at central market. i thought it sounded cool and i had a couple of songs so i said ok. it was only the three of us and danny was playing guitar so i figured it was time that i learned how to play bass. i borrowed some stuff from competition and so did danny and gb and we started practicing. since then we've practiced a lot and decided on a name and started playing shows and stuff. we recorded ourselves unsuccessfully and thankfully anthony helped us out by recording us for real in the bedroom at competition. we will probably be playing a lot more shows and maybe releasing something sometime eventually so yeah.

oh yeah, we're from fort worth, tx and a lot of our songs are about that. danny and i usually write the songs that we sing on, with the exception of one that gb wrote the music for but i wrote the lyrics and sing on it. -al

Listen:

Every morning I feel like shit don't wanna work but I can't quit and every night I'm wide awake I don't know how much more of this shit that I can take cuz I'm tired and I'm sick all of the time I'm exhausted and I'm only twenty-fucking-five I don't like feeling old I don't wanna feel old anymore
