"A product of shared love for noisy 80's and 90's Pacific NW "punk rock" and British proto-goth. Originally aspired to be a convergence of inspirations by Big Black (perhaps the primary catalyst in the decision to use programmed drums) and Joy Division, resulted in something for a different array of listeners: fans of early The Cure, Wipers, Sonic Youth, Echo & the Bunnymen, Cocteau Twins."
