Our 2nd album RIOT! was born 8 yrs ago today. This was the era of neon orange hair & matching haircuts, red & yellow skinny jeans…

… scribble writing everywhere, our first big shows, being on TRL (remember that?), and our first time hearing ourselves on the radio…

It was such a good time for me as a teenage human & for our band and the music we made. Forever proud of that ketchup & mustard life. #RIOT
