about

Around 2012-2013 I started hanging out with Joseph Quinones of the Sinseers at the now-defunct Steadyrock Easy Groove Factory in Whittier, CA. We spent a lot of time just jamming out and writing music and We wrote a handful of songs but I managed to recover a few from an old drive. I learned a lot about rocksteady music and ska throughout that period and it is refreshing have to hear these songs again.

These reimagined versions showcase the band's creativity and talent while reinforcing their solid song writing. The songs may have slowed down, but the arrangements are never thin. Strings on "Scratch Me Up"?? hauntingly sexy! Fadarude
