Cementing their bond in an unemployment office where they awaited interviews for a job teaching music one hot summer's day, Butch La Rea and Robbie Pinna struck up conversation and began kicking around what they realized was musically kindred philosophy which praised the energy of 1950's rock music coupled with the f--- off D.I.Y attitude of the punk dimension.
Neither of them got the teaching job, but they did leave the unemployment office in the direction of a nearby pub, where high octane rock and roll was born to a duo of lovely monsters in our stereos.
"We've been doing this for a little while now & have wised up from previous perception of the "Music Business". We're not going to sign to just any label. We have a vision of excellence that we wish to achieve & whoever we end up with must have the same vision. The industry is in a lull at the moment but I believe that things will change shortly with the emergence of some great bands that we know & know of from the UK & the US. There are some really cool Afro- Punk outfits at the moment, it's a beautiful thing to witness."
-Butch La Rea
