After 15 years of playing and a one year hiatus, the band decided it was time to get back and write another album.  "The 5th of Strych-Nine" was chosen and became the title of the new work.  Along with the original album, the band also recorded an album of covers that have influenced them over the years.  In addition to rhythm guitar, Jay shares leads with J-Bone for a deadly dual axe combo.  J-Bone on the mic also gives this music a decidedly new texture.  The band retired in 2013.
