12" / Alex Amoon / I'm The Virus! / Bpitch Control

CD5 / Ten Benson / Black Snow / Cottage Records

Benny, Paul, Jonny, and Chris are jokesters who have a wit that comes through clear. All three songs on this EP (including a Yoko Ono cover) have a Christmas theme to them.

CD / various / Welcome To My World / Irritiant
