Currently operating as a trio of Patricia Day (vocals/bass), Nekroman (guitar/vocals), and Niedermeir (drums), this new wave-cum-goth-punk outfit has made tremendous waves on the Warped Tour circuit since emerging with their 2004 debut, HELL YEAH. While the following year’s BRING IT ON! saw them engender massive appeal, it deviated a bit from their main influences like The Cure and Sisters Of Mercy, but which they rekindled for 2008’s KISS KISS KILL KILL. Having toured with everyone from Danzing to the Dropkick Murphys, this Danish-by-way-of-L.A. outfit is arguably the most vital torchbearer for a fun-but-dangerous brand of rock mayhem inspired equally by the Misfits, Depeche Mode, and Reverend Horton Heat.
