Background
In 2011 Don send some music to Dave and they started putting tracks together for fun. The 'Punk's Not Dead, Nor Are We' demo came out of these sessions. This demo was sent to friends and through it the band were signed to Thumper Punk Records. They released 'SOLI DEO GLORIA in 2012 to much anticipation and have been actively releasing music via Thumper Punk ever since.
Dave & Don live in South Africa but have recruited drummers for each release from amongst their Thumper Punk Label mates in the USA.
