"Originality is hard to come by these days but you have done as good a job as many I have heard on Makeaster. You define your sound with competing concepts of metal riffs with emo vocals." - Makeastar
"Certainly in line with the power/pop punk rock resurgence, this tune is a raunchy romp down a rocky road. This track screams Radio, Radio, Radio! You guys can write hit songs" - Makeastar
"Your vocals are so different. They're not even like "Evanescense" or some other hit band. There is a great distinctivness to these vocals"
"The repeating riff hammers the rage emotion s home while the wistful vocals echo the sadness-a really unique combination." - Makeastar

Bio
Mavis, the lead singer and lyricist is influenced by Annie Lennox, Heart and Led Zeplin. Her voice has a low rich quality while maintaining a high angelic sound that is pleasing to all ears. She recieves several positive comments on her vocal style after every performance.
Josh the Bass player is 20 years old and is influenced by "Tool" "Primas" and "Metalica" He writes most of the music and his bass carries the meoldy in several songs. He picks the bass high on the neck, using a delay effect producing a beautiful haunting melody that drives this bands music. His vocals are added to several songs and his shouting in some songs has everyone mesmorized.
Donny is a 27 year old hard driving rhythm guitarist who throws in some fast finger licks between rhythms that amazes all watchers. His sound is full and chunky with a deep edge that adds intensity and vibe to the music. We only have one guitarist but you'd swear there was two!
Steve is a drummer that all drummers should watch. He writes his parts as does a lyricist with words. At a young age he played with the likes of "Santana" and has a latin style that gives our hard music a different edge. His energy is incredible and has had several offers from big bands but he's stuck on our music...Thank God!
