Joshua - Drums, probably will do some vocals and/or add some other instruments to the mix.

Music, the good and the bad.
Hearing shitty music is what inspires me the most, it makes me want to get rid of the BS and just make some good music to fill up the space with.
Here are a few of the bands I listen to (in no order at al):
Anthrax, The Offbeats, One For the Books, The Toasters, Blink 182, Suicidal Tendancies, Jimi Hendrix, The Resistance, The Suicide Machines, HIV, Crass, The Clash, Rancid, Operation Ivy, Bob Marley, Sublime, Stuck Lucky, B.B. King (and a ton of other Blues), '72 Dolphins, The Misfits, Rage Against the Machine, Madness, The Specials, The Sequoia Outlaws (and Look Ma), No Regrets, Flatfoot 56, The Unseen, The Groodies, The Distillers, The Know How, Straight Line Stitch, Know Lyfe (oldddd stuff), The Flatliners, Deftones, Tool/A Perfect Circle, The Subhumans, The Red Shift, Deals Gone Bad, Clearly Blind (and The Vigilantes), The Adicts, Reel Big Fish, Mudvayne, Catch 22, The Psalters, Leftover Crack, Flesh For the Beast, Static-X, Kittie, Chase Long Beach, NOFX, and tons more.. I just can't think of any right now.
The way Ska should sound, and the way Ska shows should be.
I'm an 18 year old guy hailing outta Grand Rapids, MI. I've played several instruments in my life including: Bass, Guitar, Drums and Trumpet. My main instrument is drums however.. and I've been playing for a little over a year. I'm one of those guys that doesn't give a fuck about much of anything. But I"m definately not apathetic. I know a lot about politics, even though I hate them. I know a lot about lying, even though I hate liars. I stand for peace, love, unity and freedom. I hate a lot of things, but I'm far from closed-minded.
I don't really know what else to say about myself. So if there's something you really want to know... ask.
I've played in several bands, some serious and some not so serious. I played guitar/bass/vox in a band that didn't have a name (it was just a friend and I playing around), I played bass in a band called Unified Rebelution, and I currently drum for The Hydrants, The Republican'ts and Mr. Jack (though I don't play in the songs on their site). Other bands I've played with include: Blasphemy in Black, Winter Sets Fire and 13 Pirates High.
Mostly what I'm going to put on here is music from bands that I've played with. And eventually might put some solo material on here. All of these are rough recordings, never mastered or multi-tracked. The songs are all recorded live, without good microphones or software. So forgive the quality.
That's not true. lol Earlier this year we were saying we'd chill all the time, never did, and we kinda stopped talking. You still work at the same place? What are your hours? I'll stop in sometime. I've discovered that I can walk long distances......

Thanks for the kind words man. We really like your band too.. glad we got to play with you in Saginaw.. we gotta get some local some going on. If we have a show that needs another band we'll let you know.. do the same for us too! haha
Well, I miss you so the sooner I can see you the better... I'd like to catch up.
I heard about that band... at IHOP one night a woman asked if we wanted to by tix to the Battle of the Bands show at the intersection and mentioned that she's helping out the "republican't" or something... had I known it was you I may have bought one.
Is that your next show... I still have never seen you perform and it sucks... we've known each other HOW LONG?
Well.... I'm off today kind of... and then again Saturday and Sunday, so if you're free at all, will you call me?
