Primarily put together by Chris Mills and Ranel Juanta, to fill a void left behind by the energetic and highly acclaimed local band "Just Kidding", the idea is to create a vehicle with which to record, release and perform their original music. Such is a refreshing approach against the growing trend of cover and concept bands.
