Love this band. Won a bunch of their records on eBay not too long ago...one of the best things that's happened this year for me, haha.

thats not true....Badja is the man though but their singer showed up suuuuuper late and was all wasted with these two chicks and bounced...it was FUCKED UP

Part true. The singer did get drunk and that's why they didn't play (which is lame), but it wasn't a jerk move. He was actually really nervous about the show and drank too much trying to calm himself but overdid it. Stupid yes, but it wasn't done with malice.

actually the story i heard is that the drummer was on crack

Agreed, they stand the test of time far better than most screamo bands.
