The t-shirts serve as a moving personal tribute to the victims of violence. Each shirt is decorated to represent a particular woman's experience with violence, by the survivor herself or by someone who cares about her. This provocative display provides an opportunity for people to break the silence and tell their own story.

The band received major radio and TV play in early 2007 for their revved up Rock version of the Chicago Bears fight song "Bear Down" on WGN-TV and radio. "MSC" already has one full-length under there belts, 2005's Nobody Gets What We're Saying and now the follow up, Summer Spins EP, released on Chicago native Bouncing Betty Records.

Ten years ago two brave men went deep into the bowels of the Florida everglades looking for the missing link. That has nothing to do with this story. For this is the story of Bachelor Party Weekend, the most corrupt, egotistical monolith in rock history. Five gasoline fueled hearts bent on destruction, BPW has been the pied piper in the Tri-cities area for the past two years. Their influence goes from the streets right into city hall. Their music acts as a catalyst for human change. Human change towards the bizarre. Where the ancient druidic cult of Zoroaster left off, BPW shall continue the reign of blood and geometry. Don't let your children fall in line with these priests of dark lore, for they shall turn your children from the innocent to the freak. Bachelor Party Weekend brings with them the end of times.
