Children of the 80's, we're now all growd-up and self-employed, running successful businesses with children of our own. Unimpressed with the modern music scene, we decided to pick up where our dreams left off 20 years ago and carry the torch for real rock and roll, the way WE remember it, and with a mix of some relatively modern rock. Along with some great songs of our own, we play everything from FogHat to Theory of a Deadman to Judas Priest. Our sound is an authentic representation of the best of rock music. Our stage performance is exactly what you would expect from a full-on Classic Rock band - Marshall Stacks and high-rise drum riser with outrageous antics and smooth choreography.

Read on to discover the true meaning of the LoudFinger...

Ask any group of Americans what it means to give someone "the finger" and you will get many different responses; most of them profane. It seems that the true meaning of this colorful gesture has been forgotten. To discover the true meaning of the LoudFinger, we must explore a bit of history know as The Hundred Years' War.

The Hundred Years' War was a particularly nasty bit of fighting that occurred between 1337 and 1453 as a result of, as usual, greed and pride among the European royalty. It's important to note that warfare tactics during this period were heavily influenced by the development of the long bow. The long bow would give an army greater range on the battlefield allowing a commander to "soften up" his opponent before engaging ranks in close combat and it was ultimately considered a critical component for victory. A particularly difficult weapon to wield, it took years of diligent practice to become proficient with this advanced weaponry and bowmen would often begin their training during childhood. So feared were the bowmen that the French took up the intimidating practice of cutting off the middle fingers of captured enemy bowmen thus rendering them unable to ever use a longbow accurately again.

Which brings us to the historic, Battle of Agincourt. Returning to England with some 6000 battle-weary troops, Henry V is intercepted by French commander, Charles D'Albert and some 30,000 troops. Imagine French and English troops facing off against one another on a chilly Friday morning, the 25th of October, 1415. The French outnumbering the English 5 to 1. Despite these horrible odds, the English positively decimated the French, killing 11,000 troops and losing less than 100 men in the process, thanks in no small part to the the valiant performance and determination of the deadly accurate longbowmen.

As commemoration of this victory, the English began using a proud salute whenever encountering the French. This salute was a demonstration of a great victory against overwhelming odds. The salute proudly proclaims that their middle fingers, and their resolve, are still intact.
