Two albums in one year!!! This is a cassette co-released with our dearest imprint. Small run! Artwork created by the ever-so talented ! This is our stranger batch of songs that we home recorded with Sir Andy Peterson on the controls, and yes, creative freedom was given for him to twist and turn the k***s and bobs.
Please come out and have a time, won’t you?!

Thank you EVERYONE that came out to the show last night (Friday Dec 26th). This is a hectic time of year and the fact that we made it onto your calendars truly means the world. Big shout out to two of the best bands doing it in the Lou these days….Call Letters and Nite Sprites: Friends and Heroes. Thank you to Mr. Saputo and his fabulous club Platypus.
We still have a few copies of the new LP so if you want one hit us up . We will be back in March with yet another album to release.
17 yrs going strong!!
Love and Respect.

Some time ago a virtual rag listedMaximum Effort as the best punk band in the state of Missouri which is funny because we are barely involved in the punk scene in our own city.
Anywho, see what reigns true or false when you come to our Record Release Dec 26 at Platypus!
