Originally posted by badmoonYeah, they were pretty much a one hit wonder. Three of the four still live here in C-U, while the drummer married, became a pharmacist and moved out of town. They play reunion shows every several years though. Matt Talbott, the lead singer, owns a recording studio here and started a new band called, Centaur. Jeff Dimpsey, the bassist, helped form the band, National Skyline, and just recently, Gazelle. Tim Lash, the other guitarist, recorded an album with a former member of Love Cup; they called themselves, Glifted.

Darv, you should checkout Devon's' Punky Bruster.
These threads always confuse me, what do you guys define as metal?
Anything that's outside the "Alternative" section of your C.D stores?
Currently really enjoying some of the older albums I have that I haven't listened to in a while:
Dimmu Borgir
In Flames
Katatonia
Strapping Young Lad
Rammstein
Enter My Silence (Remote Controlled Scythe is one of their best, IMO)
Slipknot
System of A Down
Tenacious D
Coheed and Cambria (This guy's head is going to explode... Too much going on there)
Deftones
