What's New?
- Another review ( 4/8/03 ) :
Handed to me for review is the demo cd "Turn on the Fun" from the band Flip The Switch based out of Northern California. The cd starts of with hounestly, quite a band first impression but thats just the first
couple seconds. The intro is the popular Rocky intro music but the horns sound really off. With that now in the past the guitar and drums continue the intro and make a nice smooth transition into the first song, a catchy tune tittled "Luckiest Guy in the World." Flip The Switch is still relativly new but show potential. I see a few great band members coming out of this band.

- Wow, some dude named Mark IJbema translated that french review on us into english! Here it is:
"They come straight from Sacramento, the city where it is nice. They're all young and they come precisely with an album which isn't signed, but which however are worthwhile. The songs are rather interesting, varying between plain ska and ska with a bit of punk. Even when the guitars are rather "skink", the whole is decorated with obligatory copper, a bit of cherry on the cake, they have well played. Evidently the group must make progress, it's clear even though the vocals are correct they remain quite bassy. Also, the compositions are quite lineair, though the melodies are in most cases well found. I'll give you the adress of the site where you can find out more and possibly buy the good album of ska."

- Here's what our drummer said to me when i asked him to come back to the band:
Hey Rob,
I'm glad to see that people all over have been really into the music we made. It made the ride seem so much better, like it wasn't all for nothing. But, right now I have so much going on in my life I can't right now. With a possible new job and school starting up. It may be difficult.
And I'm not going to lie to you but I am already committed to another band at the moment. Ben and I have already been working with them for a few weeks now. Sorry man! It was nothing personal, but Ben and I both felt that it was best to leave the group and try new things. The time practicing and recording together was a learning experience for us all. It was a blast and I won't forget it. My thought's go out to you and Will.
Later.

- Got some really bad news to report.... not like anyone cares, but our drumer and bass player quit the band. Not sure whats going to happen to us, but we will try to find someone to replace them. Its very hard to find a drumer and the odds dont look good right now for us continuing. If you know someone who plays the drums or bass guitar and they like ska music, please have them email me.
