Criminal Record: Serial Artery Clogger, known offences are making Bacon Bombs and Meatzzas with high fat content and also assaulting pop lovers with large doses of death metla.

Gayest Incident: Singing R.Kelly's I Believe I Can Fly or maybe Listening to the spice girls at age 14 but then again they are girls, so not sure how 'gay' that is.

What I Really Think About My Bandmates:

Hamza is The deer, funny man mostly quantity over quality. Jokes are constant, in excess, completely tactless and injurious to health. Is much like a heart attack, kills instantly. Is extremely helpful, has loads of expensive gadgets, is a fairly good drummer who can’t play a 4/4 but can play a 42.564/21.9547 time signature. Worships DC, GH and TH.

Devesh is The crocodile... I mean Komodo Dragon. Totally random, hip, cool, 1 generation apart. Listens to angry music, travels by cool cabs, hewrestledabearonce, laid back but plays some decent guitar. Hasn’t heard any music from the 80s or 90s.

Aditya Kadam is The Rhino... passive, quiet and smacks that bass like a bitch. He doesn't talk so I don't know anything about him except he is a kickass bass player and was XXXXL t-shirts. Plus 1. :)

Distinguishing Marks on Body: Fingerprints on fingers, eyeballs in eye sockets, punctured nose other than that my body does not have any distinguishing marks on it.

Criminal Record: Almost thrown out of junior college for making a fake ID, taken to the police station twice, by neighbours for not keeping the volume down.

Gayest Incident: When I saw Sahil cook for the first time, although I have to say what he made was great. Also everytime Raj wears his orange pants and pink crocs and carries his pink hard disk my brain registers the situation as a “gay incident”.
