about

We've been calling ourselves a "Power Trash" band for years, because we don't want to be pigeonholed to just one style and genre of music. We generally love "Punk rock" obviously, but we have absolute appreciation for other genres that all fall under that same umbrella. While we typically play "Punk rock" for the most part, we tried our hand at writing songs for this album that were of different genres as well, such as Ska, Rockabilly / Psychobilly, Hardcore Punk, and Oi!

We understand to some, it probably doesn't exactly suit a specific genre's sound, but at the very least, the songs were heavily influenced by that specific genre when we wrote them. We hope some people can understand or appreciate what we were trying to do here.
