April 17, 2008

Hometown // Baltimore

Current members // Rebecca Lawrence, bass; Dan Steele, drums; Christopher "Lazlo Lee" Edwards, guitar and vocals

Founded in // 2005

Style // punk/garage rock

Influenced by // The Sonics, The Kinks, The Cramps, The Insomniacs, The Stooges

Notable // Last year, the trio released a four-song vinyl EP called, fittingly, the 7" EP. Most of the tracks were recorded live in studio, and the band wants to take the same approach on their debut full-length disc, which could be finished later this year.

Quotable // "We just liked the vintage sounds of rock 'n' roll," Edwards said. "Mostly what we listen to are blues and rock records, so we like that feel."
