History? -The band started somewhere during 96 and then after that we have sme personal chnages, we have tried about 3 singers, 2 bassists and 4 guitarists before we came to the band we have now. Fact is that I am the onlyoriginal member in the group. All these personal changes have been positive for the band but it has been very hard working without a singer or a guitarist but that have done that we have found our sound and we hope that we can have this lineup in the future

Is there any good
bands in Gothenburg/Sweden? -Yeah-Gothenburg/Sweden have a lot of bands but if you see in the punkstyled music itīs not so many good bands left. It have been some good reuinions in the last time as Skumdum and Strebers. But as I said the punk isnīt so big in Sweden anymore and many of the bands seems to want to play rock instead of the melodic fast punk as Randy to take an example. But I think when youīre going to change musicstyle so much why donīt change name too as Randy have done with their music
