It is probably better for someone farther away from it to answer that, but we love punk rock, especially the old Oi-type stuff, and we love Celtic and eastern European traditional stuff. We try to mix them in our own way and write words that mean something to us and people we care about. We all live in the same house and share a common thread in many areas, but also enough diversity so that the development of the music is always a bit of a surprise. We feel we still are just beginning and look forward to the possibilities. I imagine the commune we share together explains a fair portion of our history.
Music is usually collaborative, though sometimes someone brings a whole song to the group.
I try my best to write words I can repeat with abandon. Many of our songs are written with the hope of provocation. We help push things when we can. No music can be taken too seriously, but the human will and conviction that can be felt beneath it all can be in the right place at the right time. We are involved in many social issues that we like to talk about.
