I believe they share members with Arz's group, Lord Chauncey Picklebottom.

One of the stupidest names I've ever heard. I bet they are alright though...probably sound like Witchcraft or something. Damocles I bet is real into them. They probably got name-checked by a member of Grand Magus in an interview in some tough to read British zine. But they aren't British...they're Belgian. Or more likely Swedish. Sweden shits out throwback heavy psych bands at a brutal clip. I need that seven inch. NOW!

I am with you on the name, one of the worst ever... but I kinda dig what I have heard on youtube. interested to see what the full length sounds like and as much as I don't want to like most of those Rise Above bands- I do end up liking them.

They're from the UK, London area, one of them is also in the band Gorilla. I've seen them live before, it's kind of like an early proto metal sound, lots of fuzz

I think I care but still not completely sure, I like what little I have heard... by the way Damocles- if you are interested, you can pre-order the album at interpunk for $22. I also picked up the uncle acid vinyl...

'cept if it were up to you, it would be a badly scripted crime-grit-drama episode starring Mark-Paul Gosselaar on the losing end of a gay/rape triangle :(

...I'd rather take the bullet

I'm relaxed.

I'm just providing you with some encouragement.

I'll be damned! I actually remembered the band once I saw the artwork.
