MATT JOYCE lives in a chronologically distant world where precise song structures, jangling guitars and tight vocal harmonies ruled the day. Big Star, The Byrds, The Kinks and The Zombies are regular touchstones. A mix of crisp '60s melodies garnished with manic energy and occasional country flourishes. Matt can also be seen/heard in The Midwest Beat and The Grizzlies.

TIM SCHWEIGER writes genuinely honest songs about loneliness and freindship. His influences range from Paul Westerberg to Bruce Springsteen. He is currently the frontman for Tim Schweiger & the Middle Men and was previously with The Obsoletes, Yesterday's Kids, as well as a short stint drumming for The Blueheels. Tim has toured the country extensively and shared the stage with Superdrag, The Figgs, Screeching Weasel and Old 97's, to name a few.
