If you stand on the conservative side of the culture war, and you like classic American Rock, Punk, Post-Punk, Garage Rock, New Wave, Americana and Folk, then you might like the noise we make. Our lyrics blend politics, satire, personal testimonies, news headlines, cultural lampooning, comedic true stories and cathartic ranting.
We're not you're grandfather's conservative rock band. We're a little different. It's been said that "conservatism is the new punk" and "the new counter-culture." These are counter-culture battles put to song. Cathartic, comedic, poetic and tragic...

We are a group comprised of Gen X-er and Millennial. Like many in Western culture, we too were duped by liberal intellectualism and a progressive culture during our youth. But praise the Lord! We were rescued from the dark side and survived to tell about it!
We draw from a varied background of American music that includes the folksier side of 60s Psychedelic Pop, the experimentalism of 70s Hard Rock, the Post-Punk quirkiness of the edgier New Wave bands of the 80s, and an array of 90s Alternative & Indie Rock influences. We like to think we're keeping what's great about those genres, while filtering out all of the Marxist ideology and New Age rhetoric. We replace it with honest-to-God American values, and even some comedy from time to time, to create a different musical vision combined with our own writing style to make something that is hopefully new and exciting to music fans who are bored with modern music, and frustrated by all the progressive propaganda that plagues the songs we used to love.
Perhaps you're a fellow former-liberal, who still prefers their music with an artier bend to it, and you just can't really get into Kid Rock. Or maybe you're simply one of many old-time rockers, fellow gen-Xers/ Millennials, or younger Conservative music fans who may have found themselves wondering: What else is there for conservatives to listen to other than Country music, Tom MacDonald and Ted Nugent?
We hope to begin filling that void, and to do our part to help win the culture war by building up a new wave of conservative Alternative Rock, made by people who love faith, family, good music & the American spirit.
