The winning song “Heard it on the Radio” has been extensively played by national & community radio. The band in its short history has accomplished much due to its depth of talent, professionalism and versatility. The members all come from diverse musical backgrounds. recent supports have included Nickelback, Killing Heidi, Regurgiator, The D4 and the Super Jesus to name buit a few.

The bands continual output can be attributed to the presence of three distinct song writers within its ranks Frankie G (Lead Vocal), Chris Gibbs (Guitar & BV), Steve Gibbs (Bass & BV)and a subsequent continual flow of new songs. Of course we can't forget the powerhouse drumming of Vinnie PC, not to mention his famous show-boating!!!
