Only the best band to ever come out of Baltimore, Maryland. Comprised of Joe Jayson(providing sweet melodic vocals), Jeff Hurn(providing kick ass beats on the drums), Tim Foltyn(providing amazing tunes on the guitar) and Geoffrey Blake(providing us with sick sounds from the bass). Not only are they amazing in their music, but they are the nicest guys you will ever get the chance to meet. So, if that chance ever comes to you, don't pass it up! These 4 guys manage to make their music sound completely amazing without sounding like any other band I've heard before. They are truly unique. From the lyrics, to the music, everything is just incredible. They titled their newest album "They Can't Stop Us Now" and clearly, they can't. Urban Dictionary
