One Long Drive, Sheboygan, WI. Some of you know I've been looking for a band on and off for a while. I knew my band was out there somewhere, but I couldn't seem to find the right fit. Either they didn't like my cheap piece o' crap bass guitar, my hair was too short, or (in all honesty) I was trying out for bands with a lot more experience than I (and it showed). But December was when I found them.. or they found me. 4 20 somethings who had been jamming in their basement for a while, finally decided to start writing songs and getting serious. Serious meant getting a bass player! Thanks to Craigslist, we found each other. Now we're 5 hard rockin' Sheboyganites, taking our dream from basement to studio.. and to you! Let that be a lesson to you! If you really want to do it, your opportunity is out there somewhere. Don't give up! So here is our first song!

Love it! Especially when y'all slide into a heavier vibe that contrasts with the sweet melody. The song has a lot of texture and more than enough to keep me interested. I look forward to hearing more!

Thnx dragon! And thanks for taking the time to tell me what you think. We are working on 5 more songs, so hopefully we'll have them ready before long. This was just a taste, there probably won't be any more released until we have our CD ready.

WooHoo Ted! I listened, voted, became a FaceBook friend, shared, and joined the Street Team, whatever that is, LOL. I wish you and the band all the luck in the world. Just don't forget us little people when you are rich and famous, LOL.

I like it, Ted, A LOT! I think you guys have some real potential to make the "big time" if there's any justice in this world. Thanks for sharing with us and for your inspiring words. Annie

Thanks Annie! I'm glad you picked up on the inspiration. It took a while to find these guys, but I'm glad I did! I just posted a video for the song! Same link.

hi for a person who is not really into heavy metal or some rock, this sounds really good and very professional too.Then you are the bassplayer. Think your band is going to go far as you have the sound that even I like.this must mean a dream come true. Maybe I should quit stalling on my dream of writing my autobiography and actually start writing it. from a happy kid living on a farm in'South Dakota to a less happy elderly lady stuck in a retirement center due to the bad economy. From farm to being homeless to a tiresome retirement center. THese people mean well but the fact is once y ou are in here they look at you as a senile oldster no matter if you are really quite intelligent. As to these kids running this place old age means senile.My fondest wish is to qin the Publishers clearing house sweepstakes and buy this du mp , fire the kids and put older people in charge and send all the people in need of constant medical care to the p proper facilities. then sell the whole thing to older people with real money and the desire to treat the elderly with real respect and civility. I would no want to run it at all. I would buy myself and my son a modest house and live on the interest from the millions I won. lol what a silly dream. the odds against me winning this sweepstake in one in a zillion I am sure.

Absolutely! Write it! In the immortal words of Dr. Frank N Furter, "Don't dream it, Be It!" As far as "winning" the Publisher's clearing house, I have a better idea! http://sendoutcards.com/86860 It's a way to make a living through giving greeting cards and gifts... from the comfort of your own keyboard. Thank you for the wonderful compliments. One of the things I like hearing most is how someone who isn't into the kind of music we play, liking ours anyway! Let's see about getting you in a home.. not a "retirement center"!
