I thought it would be nice to share their earlier releases: Skate Rude Boy and self-titled,
which are extra rare. Almost a year ago i got em from Skazzini from VGS, big thx to him)
Sorry for no cover art fo s-t and few titles of the songs are missing, it's really hard to find info on that album. Also enjoy their newer EP!

Unfortunately not too active last years. Some of them are playing in other bands (The Sensations, Donkey Vegetable Voxxx!!!).
