Lakeland is a small town in central Florida. It is in no way a mecca for punk rock.. but somehow four punk dudes came together in the middle of a global pandemic, to cutoff their sleeves and rock! Chad C moved to FL in 2002 and met Chad G through his previous band, ALL AGES. After that band split, many years had passed. When Chad C found out his friend was taking off from Atlanta and moving back to town, the dialog began. At this time, the world was in quarantine. One day, a text message was sent from Chad C “Wanna start a punk band?” Both passionately wanted to play music again. They quickly united and started planning. Songs were exchanged through texts that later turned into practices. Week after week, the two Chads rehearsed in a hot garage until they began their search for a bass player. The pair had their sights set on Carlos but assumed his work schedule would not allow him to play. So vetting bassists continued. Nothing seemed to work.
It was then they posted “LOOKING FOR A BASSIST THAT LIKES PUNK ROCK.° Carlos responded “if only I had a bass guitar and amp.” The two Chad’s replied.. “we’ve got you covered!’. After building a full set and countless practices, it became clear that they needed an additional guitarist to enjoy the ride. Many weeks later, Chad C happened to bump into someone of interest wearing an ALL t-shirt. He ran over like a kid excited to make a new friend, he shouts “You like punk rock?!” “Me too! We should be friends!” The other punker said his name was Jack. This is how four punk dudes started a band.
