Formed in 1989, the ties between Joe Varga (bass and vocals) and Dan Fila (drums) are as far reaching as grade school. But it was in their teens when they would begin receiving local recognition as a fearsome rhythm section. After adding Adam Alex (guitar) and later, Sean Williamson (guitar), the once Glendale based outfit did what all aspiring young bands do. They bought an old beat up van and hit the road playing covers on the local Ontario bar scene. It was during this dues paying time when the four realized they could make a sound all of their own. So armed with a couple of cassette releases, Varga caught the attention of the A&R department at BMG Canada and left home to tour the continent.
