"When you're playing a style of music that doesn't really fit anywhere, you run a risk. You're challenging people
to leave their niche, to leave their predetermined ideas of what they're supposed to like. Luckily, we have a lot of people
who just focus on the music and appreciate us for what we are. So we get fans from all different genres of music, the jocks,
the spooky kids, skaters, college kids, punk rockers, kids, metal kids, all that"

- After high school the band decided to go there separate ways and the
band broke up. Davey still spent his time writing songs and working with music. As time passed people would come up
to him and ask when they're next show would be and that

to come together and have a reunion show. The band then saw and also realized how many people were enjoying their music
that they had created and decided to get back together for good.
