(Hoorn/Utrecht, 2001-2006)

Bio: A continuation of the three-piece band Kaffer with a new singer and 2nd guitarplayer. The first rehearsal sounded like old styled hardcore not unlike early Suicidal Tendencies and DRI. As soon as the first songs were ready, Friso and Mike started looking for shows, which wasn’t that difficult because they already were organisers for local hardcore shows. All worked out fine with tours to Germany, Czech Republic, Slowakia, Austria, the UK, Belgium, etc. When Dave quits, Edwin and Mike start Waking The Dead.
