All I see when I picture the name of your band is the gang of naked shirtless dudes in Twilight that change into wolves.

Loved the music and the jazzy feel behind most of your songs. The lyrics could use some work but overall it's something I could get into.

I enjoy it!....I've had people tell me to click their soundcloud links so many times over the years on here and 10 times out of 10 it is just shit.

I've now listened to three songs on yours and I am enjoying it. As a few have stated the lyrics could use some work but you have something good started and lyrics come with time and practice.

Keep it up!

Really like the "beaches" song in the EP.

The instruments with the jazzy feel is dope but the rapper needs some work when he goes with the fast rhymes. When he's smooth and slow over the beat he matches perfect but as song as he adds a couple extra words in the scheme and raps them fast it sounds meh. Keep at it though, your instrumentals are groovy.

Jesus, wasn't even hating just an observation. Makes it way tougher to be nice after listening.

Just listened. The music side is pretty good but the rapping just isn't and the lyrics are rough. The sound is pretty clean which is nice and somewhat surprising.


Best of luck though

not bad. not a fan of the band name, and some of the lyrics were a little tacky, but it's good a good feel to it. good sound.

as a trumpet player myself (or ex trumpet player who grew up loving ska and all that 90s alternative punky stuff), i can appreciate the brass influence!

keep at it!

downloads should be available within the next month. we recorded it throughout the summer and have more music on the way which should be better both lyrically and music-wise.

I think the trumpet and beat is my favorite part, not the rapping so much. No flow.
