Toledo skater for deep gets more local public attention. A local legend to many for his musical contribution in the band The Necros. I’ve always been stoked on his continued love for skateboarding and his desire to follow his own path. A local roll model of sorts. He is the real deal.

Drummer Todd Swalla is most recently notorious for his beat contributions to space-pop band Muschi and the enigmatic Boogaloosa Prayer, a collaboration with Dooley Wilson and Jimmy Danger.
