Surprisingly, in 2006 Susan Dynner a director of Punk's Not Dead The Movie contact us and she told us that we will take a part of that documentary movie.

We also have been tour in south east asia like: Malaysia, Singapore and Phillipines. Last shout! We`re trying to write down the path for newer bands that they can reach their dreams if they work for it. It`s like providing an intellectual property so that new young creative bands with hard work attitude wont reinventing the wheel. We would like to see more kids start to wear band tshirt, start to skate and believe on their passion to live their own things. Its important to see kids which getting into more creative hype and do their best for their life and gives something back to their community.
