I'll have to check it out.
I hope "Metal-Disco" is better than musical hybrid abortions like the
"ska-punk" phase of the late '90s, which wasn't much of either. :P

Yeah I have some of their stuff downloaded. I like the songs "If We Don't Make It, We'll Fake It" and "Blood On Our Hands."

Just picked up the CD yesterday. After one listen, I gotta say it sounds pretty nice. I guess I missed their stop in PHX a few days ago. :(
