This band takes the tension felt in the shadows of our dysfunctional society and screams out in pain accompanied by guitars that convey the same feeling. The point gets across. The sick and twisted sounds of this band feel so good with lots of volume. This six-song EP (The Sick and the Beautiful) is a sneak preview at two songs from their upcoming Trick or Treat album ("Plastic Jesus" and "Kill Yourself"); as well as "The Haunted Remix" of the song "Love With A Fist," a new one called "XXX," followed by an interview with the band. This is a limited release on the band's home label, so order yours quick.
