As our EP is almost finished, were introducing ourselves, but written by the others.
๐ค Scott Rich ๐ค
"Scott is the drummer that other drummers fear having behind their kit.๐ฅ This 8ft, half man/half rhythm machine slaps a mean skin, and looks only a little bit questionable while doing it. ๐๐คช
You wouldn't step to him, but in reality he's a softy that only forgets his hi-hat clutch 4 out of every 5 gigs!๐งธ
We love you Scott"

We're finalising our EP, so here's a bit about Lewis, written by the others.
๐ค Lewis Sweeney ๐ค
โSewis Leweenyโ is an unstoppable force even with his crippling arthritis and wheezy boy 9000s ๐ฎโ๐จ๐ซ. From using his bass as a sniper to (impressively) jumping on his knees, this man knows no bounds and is what one would call โa walking hazardโ. โ ๏ธ๐ฃ๐ท
Lewis Sweeney is a lovely outgoing love machine thatโs not afraid to push over your nan if the breakdown is beefy enough. ๐ต
We love you Sweeney"

We're nearing the completion of our EP so we're introducing ourselves; written by the others.
๐คKayin Lloyd Templar ๐ค
"His height exceeds that of a pencil rubber, his passion is consuming the deadly dairy surpasses that of playing the guitar. ๐ฅโ๏ธ
After years of practice, his "Widdly Woos" are not to be overlooked.
Kayin bases his entire look off the birthchild of John Lennon and Yoko Ono with his weave and Weeby ways. ๐ธ๐ฏ๐ต
We love You Kayin."
