"Full of odd time signatures and eclectic influences, this powerful trio are looking to take the music world by storm. Mark White’s vocals lend an ominous air to his heavy guitar paying, mingling dangerously with the funky bass stylings of Paul Turner of Jamiroquai fame. Ed Laubinger sits calmly behind the drum kit, adding his Kazak gypsy drumming – among a multitude of other instruments – to give this band a wonderful vibrancy. The mix of influences gives the group incredible versatility. Their first album, Sick Society – released in January – delivers track after track of fantastic music, but it’s not all gravely vocals and heavy guitars. ‘Absolution’, ‘Governing Body’ and ‘Local Treason’ form a core of wonderfully varied sounds, moving in order from an apocalyptic, anthemic waterfall of a song, through a chilled-out river of purity and finally into a grungy, head-banging sea of aggression."

lyrics
I’ve gotta take my thinking cap off.
It helps me see through your eyes. Bright lights shining.
What I see there deceives me, so loud………lies.
It looks well like disease. So stale……so sick.
And I can’t see where I’m going. No way….forward.
But I can see through your lies. Yes I can….Safe.
And What I see there despises me. With a hate….so grave
I’m all deaf to your cries. Well I can’t hear you….shouting.
What if I was ill ?
(Who the fuck is ill?)
So what if I was.
I got self defense for my head. My soul…….yeah.
I’m gonna get myself a blade and cut your tongue……..out.
The bad air your opinions breathe. So frail….so pale.
It suffocates my belief, in you…..deep down.
Well how am I gonna keep myself……sane.
I’m gonna keep myself down to the grind…..stone.
And this is no place to be seen. Not here, not there.
It’s not a place to believe, but I know you will…..yeah.
What if I was ill (Who the fuck is ill?)
So what if I am.
