Dischord-esque four-piece taking cues from all and sundry, yet splicing their fevered rock and roll with north eastern wit and a good deal of rhythmic invention.

Their two albums to date (2006) are The Black Lung Captain and The Night Don Benito Saved My Life; both are available on Jealous Records. They've also released a handful of seven-inches and a split seven-inch, on orange vinyl, with Kill Yourself (both covering a Devo song).
