 They were all the rage in the ’90s and early 2000s before breaking up. But they are back together after a  several year hiatus, and have barely missed a beat in that time and scarcely looked as if they‘ve aged a day.


They started  off their set slowly, but soon  found their foundation and picked up steam with a solid set of short , fast bursts of catchy  and hyperactive pop punk along the lines of Blink 182 and Sum 41 with just a touch of Gob.


 They had a heap of energy with plenty of leaping around. Unfortunately less than 20 people were there to see the show. I missed opening sets from Chief Mountain and fellow Calgarians The Foul English.
