Cherrywood Foot Care A BREAKTHROUGH LASER
ADVERTORIAL
TREATMENT FOR TOENAIL FUNGUS Many people suffer from a condition called Onychomycosis (on-ni-koh-my-ko-sis), which is better known as toenail fungus. This condition is noticeable by a thickened, yellow or cloudy appearance of an individual’s toenail plate. The toenail can become rough and crumbly or can separate from the nail bed. There is usually no pain or other bodily symptoms unless the disease is severe. The condition can often affect a person’s ability to enjoy the simple things in life such as going barefoot or wearing sandals. Is there hope for sufferers of this condition? Cherrywood Foot Care in Nassau County has just introduced a medical breakthrough by offering the newest in laser technology for toenail fungus: the Cool Breeze Laser. Cherrywood Foot Care, led by founder Dr. Joseph Burke, has been a part of the Long Island community for over 24 years. They offer quality medical and surgical foot care. The facility features cuttingedge emerging technologies such as a diagnostic ultrasound and a state-ofthe-art operating room on premise and this new laser treatment for toenail fungus. Dr. Burke and his qualified staff have the most advanced training and use the most advanced techniques in the treatment of this condition and your entire foot and ankle healthcare. Cherrywood Foot Care and Dr. Burke are leading the industry with this revolutionary treatment that quite simply can eliminate toenail fungus. The laser treatment destroys pathogens that cause toenail fungus. This is a serious and powerful medical advancement that the public needs to learn more about. This revolutionary new laser treatment appears more effective than all previous treatment options. Laser therapy for toenail fungus is completely safe, painless and has no side effects. In most cases, usually only one treatment is needed. This treatment leaves patients with a significant improvement in the health and appearance of their toenails. The laser operates in a very tight spectrum of near-infrared light. The laser light passes through the toenail without causing damage to the nail or the surrounding skin. The beam created by this specially designed medical device NE eW wS s
CCoOlLuUm MnNsS
kills the embedded pathogens in the nail plate and nail bed, leaving normal healthy tissue undamaged. Only minimal adverse reactions, injuries, disabilities or side effects have been reported in clinical studies with this new laser technology and treatment. In contrast, topical treatments are minimally effective. “Oral medications available today can cause side effects to the liver, kidney and eyes, and may even affect your senses of taste and smell,” states Dr. Burke. At the time of the procedure, the toenail will not become instantly clear, it takes time to grow out. A new healthy nail will be seen emerging from the cuticle area as the nails grow naturally. The average toenail replaces itself every six to nine months. Within one to three months of the procedure, a healthy new growth will be visible. The laser treatment is very effective, according to clinical studies performed in Sacramento, Calif. Most patients experience significant improvement. In most cases, the fungal nails are improved with a single treatment. The vast majority of our clients require only one treatment, which usually takes about 30 minutes. No anesthetic or injections are ever used and you will be able to resume all of your normal activities immediately after the treatment is done. It is recommended that after the treatment (just like you practice good oral hygiene to keep your teeth and gums healthy), you will need to practice good foot hygiene to keep your toenails healthy. Find out how to end your struggle with toenail fungus by visiting Cherrywoodfootcare.com or call Dr. Joseph Burke for a free consultation. Their professional medical staff will help you to feel welcome, relaxed and comfortable with a caring office experience. Cherrywood Foot Care can have you barefoot and smiling with confidence once again with this revolutionary new laser technology. It can eliminate unsightly toenail fungus giving you clear healthy toenails with an affordable one-time treatment! Put your “Best” foot forward.Call us today to see why we were voted #1 BEST Podiatrist On Long Island!

Sound Smart at a Party but scientists stress that it is far from being ready for clinical use and larger studies are needed to calculate accuracy…
We love the smell of a fresh…laptop?
Artists in Melbourne, Australia and scent company Air Aroma have made a unique fragrance for an upcoming exhibit—the scent of an Apple MacBook Pro laptop. According to MacWorld, the cologne “encompasses the smell of the plastic wrap covering the box, the printed ink on the cardboard, the smell of paper and plastic components within the box and, of course, the aluminum laptop which has come straight from the factory in China.” Unfortunately for Apple fanboys, this cologne will not help them score on their next (aka first) date. The fragrance was only created for the exhibition, “Greatest Hits,” and is not available for purchase…
The chin is in. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, surgical procedures that enhance the chin— chinplants—have increased 71 percent from 2010 to 2011. They are now more common than breast implants, liposuction and Botox combined! Chinplants are also fascinating because the surgeries are evenly split between men and women. Much like a breast augmentation, a surgeon cuts a small incision below the chin to insert a rubbery implant. And there are no regrets. The procedure is reversible…
Do you think your teen is depressed?
There may soon be a blood test to find out. Scientists are in the early stages of developing a blood test that could diagnose major depression in teens and young adults. Researchers focused on 26 blood indicators for depression and anxiety. These biomarkers reflect the activity of genes related to the disease. They then tested those indicators in 14 teens with major depression who were not undergoing treatment and 14 teens who were not depressed, and found that 11 of the indicators were linked to depression and 18 were linked to both anxiety and depression. The findings were published in Translational Psychiatry,

Canine cable channel DogTV is headed for national distribution! Its programming is aimed at dogs who experience separation anxiety when they are left home alone while their owners are at work. It premiered in February in the San Diego area, and is now available on the Internet for $9.99 a month. The sound, colors and camera angles are all adjusted to be more canine friendly, and the TV stars include other dogs and animals in general. Just make sure your canine companion doesn’t bury the remote in the backyard while you’re out to keep you from changing the channel to Modern Family...

Letters to the Press Casualty of Clam Wars Dear Editor: It was with much dismay that members of the Oyster Bay Rotary Club and the Oyster Bay Charitable Fund read “Clam Wars Rage in Oyster Bay” by Christopher Twarowski [April 5] in the Long Island Press. For 11 months of the year these selfless volunteer members focus on organizing one of the largest charitable festivals on the East Coast, which often attracts more than 200,000 people. More than 25 Oyster Bay-based charities benefit from this incredible event. For many, it is the only fundraising they do all year. We are saddened that the article seemed to imply that the festival is owned by the Town of Oyster Bay and David Relyea, one of the owners of Frank M. Flower. To clarify, David is a valued member of the Oyster Festival committee, and he generously donates 40,000 oysters to the event. Sales of those oysters directly benefit the Oyster Bay Rotary Club, and in turn benefit the charities it supports. The festival is not involved with the ongoing litigation, and it is important that a distinction is made. We do not wish to have the Oyster Festival’s mission and reputation tarnished in any way by your article. Paul Rosen and Kristin Reardon, Co-Chairs of the Oyster Festival A Tip of the Hat Dear Editor: I was deeply touched by the Fortune52 column titled “Compassion, Love, Kindness” in the Long Island Press [April 5] about Liz O’Shaugnessy, president and executive director of Coloki, Inc. I sincerely tip my hat to Ms. O’Shaugnessy, who is unafraid to outwardly display her selfless acts of changing the lives of the Hispanic day laborers here on Long Island. With the tumultuous world we live in today, Ms. O’Shaugnessy’s grace and respect for other fellow human beings is extraordinarily outstanding and kind. Her model of tolerance, understanding and determined focus are certainly attributes our world needs more of. Congratulations, Ms. O’Shaugnessy, and keep shining your light upon the world! Patricia Masi, Lindenhurst Beware the Racial Tensions Dear Editor: Regarding Jerry’s Ink column by Jerry Della Femina, “We’re All in Trouble Now” [March 29], and the Off the Reservation column, “From Watergate to Occupy” by Jed Morey [ April 5], I would like to add my thoughts on the subjects addressed and express a slightly different opinion. Although students in Trayvon Martin protests are mainly black and the 99 percent occupiers mostly white, race did not play a prominent part in either case. Recent incidents, such as a riot in Florida or the bombing of a Planned Parenthood clinic in Wisconsin do not relate to what is happening in our nation. It is the frustration with our economic, political, and judicial systems that has caused and increased the street protests. Only 43 percent of white Americans voted for President Obama. It was a combination of these white voters, 95 percent of black voters, 67 percent of Hispanic voters, 62 percent of Asians and 66 percent of other races that produced Obama’s victory. It is my opinion that many of the white voters who did not vote for Obama are bringing to the forefront the prejudices that many Americans still harbor. It is only a matter of time before name calling will turn into physical violence like the recent shootings in Tulsa, Oklahoma. My concern is that we will see a return to the race riots of the past. Anthony Mignone, Massapequa

The Target bs/ celeitic s pol n
fictio
the pitt axl
tt bufflee ru
s
Celebs/Politics—partial score Alec Baldwin says he may seek political office as New York City mayor once his contract with NBC expires and Kim Kardashian declares her intent to run for mayor of Glendale, California—a position that doesn’t actually exist—in five years. On the bright side, the apocalypse is set to occur well in advance of these possibilities!
Fiction—off target For the first time in 35 years, the Pulitzer Prize Board decides none are good enough to win shorsee the prize for fiction writing, previously given to the likes of u ho Hemingway, Faulkner and Steinbeck. What they don’t tell you is that the only novels they got around to reading this past year were the Twilight series and Pride and Prejudice and Zombies!
The Pitts—bull’s eye After seven years together and six children, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt finally get engaged. Which means all those supermarket-tabloid journalists who spent the better part of the last decade on the Brad-and-Angie-wedding beat will now have to shift to the Brad-andAngie-divorce beat! Axl—bull’s eye The Guns N’ Roses frontman declines induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame via an open letter to the Hall, in which he cites “endless amount of revisionism” of GNR’s history and “the greed of this industry and the ever present seemingly limitless supply of wannabes and unscrupulous, irresponsible media types” as the reason. Personally, we’re not sure which is more irrelevant: the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame or Guns N’ Roses! Buffett Rule—off target The so-called Buffett Rule—which would have put a 30-percent tax on the income of millionaires in the U.S.—is rejected by the Senate, as Democrats fail to garner bipartisan support for the tax bill. So there’s minimal tax revenue coming from the millionaires, none at all coming from the unemployed… Who’s left? Shore House—partial score The house occupied every summer by the Jersey Shore cast is repainted after fans of the show vandalize the entire outside of it yet again with messages like “We love you Snooki!” Huh. Who knew they could spell “we”?
The Pink Slip Kim Jong-un Give North Korea credit: No dictatorship in the world holds a better military parade. It’s really a bang-up procession, with all those color-coordinated hats, balloons and banners waving in lock-step precision in that fun-filled playground for the proletariat, Pyongyang. It was all on display this week for the new kid on the Socialist bloc, Kim Jong-un, who spoke for the first time in public to mark the centennial birthday of his illustrious grandfather, Kim Il-sung (aka Dear Leader, Great Leader, Respected Leader, Wise Leader, Brilliant Leader, etc., etc.). Lil’ Kim’s dreadful dad, Kim Jong-il (aka Ever-Victorious, Iron-Willed Commander and, our favorite, World Leader of the 21st Century), departed the workers’ paradise last December. He rarely addressed the masses, which was a shame because he looked like he could do a spot-on Mike Myers impersonation. On Sunday, his 29-year-old scion spoke for 20 minutes and actually waved and even smiled. But Lil’ Kim said nothing about that unlucky rocket launch on Friday the 13th, which lasted two minutes before the missile disintegrated into the China Sea. Or that some 6 million North Koreans depend on foreign aid to put food on their tables. This psycho regime has over a million soldiers in uniform and more than 50 pounds of plutonium but can’t defeat famine. Lil’ Kim, put away your Marx and Lenin posters permanently, get your chubby hands out of the kimchi jar and take your generals with you... You’re fired.

2. WATCH “CHILD STARS AGAINST KIRK CAMERON”: We don’t know when Kirk Cameron went from being little DJ Tanner’s adorable big brother in real life to that guy with the glassy crazy eyes preaching on street corners, but it happened and being gay is, according to Cameron, “unnatural,” “detrimental” and “ultimately destructive” to civilization. Gasp! Well, a group of former child stars—Christine Lakin from Step by Step, Josie Davis from Charles in Charge, Maureen Flannigan from Out Of This World and more—beg to differ, and they’re pledging to take on another threat to society: “Kirk Cameron’s stupid opinions.” Amen to that. 3. LISTEN TO BLUNDERBUSS: Jack White releases his debut solo album, Blunderbuss, April 24 on his own label, Third Man Records. Self-written, recorded and produced, this is White’s first release under his own name— and without sister/wife/ex-wife/we’re not really sure anymore, Karen Elson.
4. DOWNLOAD THE LONG ISLAND RESTAURANT WEEK APP: Just when we stopped inhaling chocolate eggs, chocolate-covered marshmallows, jelly beans and lime-green Peeps, it’s restaurant week again. But we’re not complaining. LIRW runs from April 22 to April 29 with participating restaurants offering three-course prix fixe meals at $24.95 per person. For a complete list of participating restaurants, head to longislandrestaurantweek. com, and while you’re there, download the free LIRW app that lets you view the list of participating restaurants, map their locations, view menus, see reviews and even make a reservation—from anywhere. How great is that? 5. LOOK FOR A SHOOTING STAR: The Lyrid meteor shower will be at its peak on April 21 and it’s possible those of us on Long Island, if the night is clear, will be able to see around 20 meteors per hour emanating from the constellation Lyra. For a front-row seat, stop by the Custer Institute and Observatory (1115 Main Bayview Rd., Southold) from 7 p.m. to midnight.
6. WIN ONE OF SONIC YOUTH’S GUITARS: Fender has teamed with legendary New York alt-rock band Sonic Youth for this promotion/giveaway. Fans can enter to win one of two guitars—a Blacktop Jazzmaster HS and a Classic Player Jazzmaster Special— Youth-ified and autographed by the band. Both guitars were used during their 2011 South American tour and have a few tech tape markings, but are in otherwise excellent condition. To enter the drawing, head to www.fender.com. 7. MAKE HOT DOG PIZZA: This could go either way: delicious or disgusting. Regardless, the concept of stuffing a hot dog into the crust of a pizza has taken international cuisine to a new level, and now we can all get in on the “delicacy.” Technology website Gizmodo is looking after your taste buds (not your health) by showing how to make your own hot dog-stuffed crust pizza. Check it out—if you dare. 8. GET A PASSPORT TO WINE COUNTRY: Get a free passport (www.liwines.com) at any of 34 locations, which entitles you to a free tasting of a featured wine with the purchase of any in-house tasting. Have your passport stamped every time you buy a bottle, and after 10 purchases, you get two tickets for the price of one to the Taste of Summer event, a chance to sample more than 100 newly released wines from more than 30 East End producers with seasonal creations by LI celebrity chef, Tom Schaudel. 9. GIVE OUT HIGH FIVES: The third Sunday in April marks the celebration of National High Five Day. It may not be an “official” bank holiday, but it is very real to us. To properly mark this momentous occasion, make sure you give high fives to as many people as possible on April 21. Everyone—family, friends, each passerby—deserves a hand. But be wary of the rules! On this day, low fives are only acceptable after a high five is given. Be sure when you celebrate that you abide by the sacred tradition’s protocols.

1. BUY RECORDS: April 21 is Record Store Day. and independent record stores are teaming up with artists to release (or re-press) their works, with many exclusively made for the day. The Flaming Lips will release The Flaming Lips and Heady Fwends featuring Ke$ha, Bon Iver and Chris Martin. Singer Wayne Coyne says he plans to put bits of all the artists’ blood in the middle of a handful of limited-edition records. Not sure if he’ll be able to get that past the health department, but we’ll find out. For a full list of releases visit www.recordstoreday.com.
The Book Killing Time: An Eliza Gordon Mystery By Amy Beth Arkawy If you’re planning ahead for the perfect beach book, Westchester author Amy Beth Arkawy offers readers an escape with Killing Time: An Eliza Gordon Mystery, the first in a series of mysteries featuring female sleuth Eliza Gordon that will leave you digging your toes into the sand. The sleepy, suburban hamlet of Goodship, N.Y., harbors a terrible secret, one that may be at the heart of two unfathomable murders. When the first death is reported, the residents are duly warned, but they don’t really do anything about it. When town landmarks are vandalized, they’re shocked. And, when an attempt is made on a local hero’s life, the town mobilizes, especially Eliza Gordon—the young, vivacious former soap star (now proprietor of Soup Opera, the favorite local lunch spot)—and her pal, local radio personality, Midge Sumner. But when their prime suspect turns up dead, Eliza and Midge re-dedicate themselves to solving the murders and catching the real perpetrator. —Daphne Livingston ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// The number of prostitutes Secret Service agents brought back to their hotel, according to investigators, from a nearby brothel in Columbia—double the number of girls suggested in initial reports. //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
B-List B-Day CARMEN “I SANG WITH PRINCE ONCE” ELECTRA April 20, 1972 Tara Leigh Patrick AKA Carmen Electra is a model and actress well-known for wearing very little in public and barely beating Kim Kardashian for longest-lasting marriage with her Las Vegas nuptials to Dennis Rodman. A Taurus ruled by Venus, goddess of love, Electra also appeared on the MTV game show Singled Out, the TV series Baywatch and in multiple nude pictorials in Playboy. But Taureans are always striving for a bigger carrot. Electra went on to create the Carmen Electra Aerobic Striptease, a five-disc DVD series combining classic stripping moves with a cardio workout.

Jerry’s Ink BY JERRY DELLA FEMINA, Publisher, the Independent
Doesn’t Anybody Lie Anymore? When I was a little boy I remember walking on Avenue U in Brooklyn with my dad. I was 7 years old and I remember asking him what the difference was between Republicans and Democrats. My dad, a good Democrat and a union man, said, “The Republicans are for the rich people and the Democrats are for poor people like us.” “Oh.” I thought, “This is easy. I’m going to become a Republican because I want to be rich.” To a 7-year-old, it was a no-brainer if all you had to do to be rich was become a Republican. I remember thinking, why would anyone want to be poor and a Democrat? Lately, I realize the reason I should have become a Democrat is because they are more successful at getting elected than Republicans, and that’s because they are so much more adept than Republicans at lying to the American public. OOOOOPPPPPS, did I say lying? I’m so, so sorry. No Democrat ever lies. Barack Obama, Eliot Spitzer, Anthony Weiner, John Edwards, Joe Biden, Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi never lie…
They do misspeak. I wish that many years ago, when my children confronted me about my lying about the existence of the Easter Bunny, I had the presence of mind to say, “I didn’t lie, I mis-spoke.” Misspoke is a word used when a politician—Democrat, Republican,
when he feared they would rule against the Obamacare mandate because the government has no right to insist you and I must buy health insurance or be fined for breaking the law. Obama knew he was lying or, as his followers like to say, misspeaking. For crying out loud, he was a professor of constitutional law. That big a misspeak can cause Obama’s nose to grow like Pinocchio’s. Then he said this would be the first time the Supreme Court would be overturning a law that had been passed by Congress by a wide margin. That is not exactly a lie, but it is a lying
“The reason I should have become a Democrat is because they are more successful at getting elected than Republicans, and that’s because they are so much more adept than Republicans at lying to the American public.” Conservative or Liberal—tells you, “I know what I told you was not true, but the lying words formed in my brain and came tumbling out of my lying mouth before I could stop them; hence, I mis-spoke.” Here’s an example of misspeaking at its best: President Obama recently tried to muscle the U.S. Supreme Court
exaggeration. It passed by seven lousy votes, and that was accomplished by bribing and arm-twisting Democratic members of the House who were afraid that the American people would turn against them, as indeed they did in the election of 2010. Republicans, on the other hand, are not smart enough to misspeak. They have managed to lose this upcoming presidential election by saying some of the dumbest things ever said in a political campaign and sticking to them. An example was when Obama tried to include Catholic colleges and hospitals in a proposal that would require companies and insurance providers to cover the costs of birth control. This was a stupid move by Obama until Rick Santorum, the most dangerous presidential candidate since Aaron Burr, jumped in with both feet and talked about his plans for birth control and his view of women’s rights. In short, his views can be translated to mean that women have no rights and should be relegated to being baby-making machines. All of a sudden the Democrats talked about the Republicans not wanting insurance to pay for birth control as a health issue and as part of a Republican “War on Women.” Mitt Romney—dancing on a political tightrope—said, “Me, too, me, too,” to whatever idiotic proclamation Santorum was making about women. There went the women’s vote. The Democrats showed everyone the best way to handle a stupid remark by one of their own when Democratic strategist Hilary Rosen stupidly attacked Ann Romney and said a woman isn’t a
woman unless she’s toting that barge and lifting that bale and paying income tax. The Democrats didn’t even give Rosen a chance to say she misspoke. Obama threw her under the bus. Not only did the Democrats throw Rosen under the bus, they ran the bus back and forth over her chubby body. Obama took a page from the Occupy Wall Street grifters and started a class-warfare agenda, talking about 99 percent versus the wealthy 1 percent. Sadly, class warfare works until a country runs out of other people’s cash. This is why Obama can’t lose. Now that the Republicans have Mitt Romney—a smart, decent, boring man who could probably get the economy straightened out—most Independent voters will continue to remember Rick Santorum, Newt Gingrich, Rick Perry and the other mangy candidates who destroyed the Republican Party, maybe forever. Wait until this summer. It’s going to be a circus. Come to East Hampton and watch formerly “Disappointed Democrats” run over each other in their rush to give Democratic candidates checks for their campaigns. Watch Democratic fundraising beggars/politicians like Chuck Schumer zero in on those nasty Liberal/Democrat hedge-fund boobs who think they can buy some time before Obama swallows them up and spits them out. Of course, Obama will come to the Hamptons and he will hold fundraisers while sitting in an armored Brink’s truck. Millionaires will be throwing themselves under the treads of the truck screaming, “Don’t go. First take my check. Please!” Thousands of good Democrats will be standing on the hoods of their Mercedes waving $100 bills, trying to toss them into the windows of Obama’s speeding limousine. What is it like for the party I decided on when I was 7 years old? Have you ever been to a Republican fundraiser in the Hamptons? It’s a lonely business. A handful of serious-looking people eating greasy pork rinds, stale pretzels and potato chips. The doomed candidate is putting up a brave front trying to figure out if the money offered will be enough to pay for his Jitney fare back to New York City. There’s a great scene in the movie Casablanca where the inspector, Claude Rains, asks Rick (Humphrey Bogart) why he came to Casablanca. Rick says, “I came for the waters.” “But Rick, there are no waters in Casablanca.” “I was misinformed,” answers Rick. If you stop and ask me why I’ve been a Republican all these years, I can only tell you, “I was misinformed.” It’s up to you to figure out if I’m misspeaking or not.

Cover Story UP ALL NIGHT
EYES WIDE OPEN
The Shake Weight. Adult footed pajamas. The Slap Chop. Late night commercials are really
bad, says Jeremy, a Dix Hills native, currently a sophomore at the University at Albany. He knows them all, and well. Throughout high school, Jeremy regularly stayed awake past midnight—playing video games, texting, watching TV— not only on his days off, but during the week. “In high school, I would sometimes make it to four or five in the morning,” he says, adding himself to the growing pool of college and high school students, those without clinical sleep disorders but who, for different reasons, purposely deprive themselves of sleep on a regular basis. Called a national “public health epidemic” by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, sleep deprivation has been a concern of parents for centuries. Literally. An 1894 editorial in British Medical Journal opined, “The hurry and excitement of modern life is quite correctly held to be responsible for much of the insomnia of which we hear.” This was written around the same time the first gasoline-powered automobile model was being tested—more than a century prior to the dawn of cell phones, iPads, social media and the Internet. And with hundreds of television channels to choose from and 24-hour programming on most of them, the ability to catch up on an entire season of a show in one night with services like DVR and TiVo, millions of apps available for download in as little as five seconds, podcasts, social networking websites like Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest, YouTube—and smart phones that allow access to all of this at any time—everyday life has become bombarded with technology. But for students who also have to manage academic, athletic and social demands in the real world, there is just not enough time in the day and sleep is often the most expendable thing on a student’s to-do list. Recent studies show one in four high school students admit to falling asleep in class at least once a week. On weeknights, 20 percent of college students stay up 24 hours straight at least once a month and regularly stay up till 3 a.m. with many taking drugs and alcohol to help them stay awake and go to sleep. Once thought to be merely a distraction that could lead to bad grades, scientists have linked sleep deprivation to more life-threatening consequences, from to obesity and diabetes to depression and drug use. It’s a problem that affects students across the board—whether it’s due to extracurricular activities, studying, socializing or just sitting on the couch, high school and college students are getting less sleep than ever before.

Moving in day came early last fall, or at least that’s how it felt for Jeremy, who came back to campus for his second year a little wiser. Sleep deprivation, common among first year college students adjusting to the stress and social activities of college life, had taken its toll the previous year and not just on his grades. He was exhausted— mentally and physically. “Most students go to sleep later, whether it’s to do work for school or partying,” he says. And for Jeremy, who lived with five other guys, there was a little bit of everything. Jeremy says most students in his dorm stay up till 2 a.m., seven days a week. Jeremy would stream movies on Netflix through his computer, talk with friends from home on Facebook or catch up on sporting events he missed while he was at class, all things he regularly did in high school. One of his roommates would stay up sometimes til 3 a.m. video chatting and texting with an out-of-state girlfriend, which he also did when they lived only three blocks apart. Another would play Xbox Live and connect with someone in a different time zone if there was no one around in his dorm, also something he did throughout high school. These late nights were nothing new for any of them. While eight to nine hours of sleep per night is widely recommended for students, many tempted by technology and the constant social connection supported by smart phones are finding it increasingly difficult to disconnect at night, according to Sarah Ogden, a math teacher at Earl L. Vandermeulen High School in Port Jefferson. “I have heard stories of kids not being able to fall asleep because of texting all night or because of video games they’re addicted to,” she says. “Constantly texting and checking Facebook, Twitter...instilled this need for students to be connected all the time. They’re not fully sleeping as long as their phones aren’t turned off or on silent.” Ogden also attributes sleep deprivation to after-school activities that can consume much of the limited time a student has to not only complete assignments but to get a good night’s sleep. Inevitably, students are either too exhausted or lack the necessary amount of time to complete their assignments, which has been a major problem for 17-year-old Ashley of New Hyde Park, who struggles with balancing softball, afterschool clubs, volunteer work and AP classes in her junior year

Cover Story UP ALL NIGHT of high school. “It’s a complete balancing act trying to fit everything in the day sometimes,” she says. “Sometimes I’m up till three or four [in the morning] just doing homework or studying for a test.” Ashley says softball keeps her out till 10 p.m. some nights, between mandatory after-school practice and then private pitching lessons she takes on her own. Many students are often forced to choose between their recreational passions, their academic drive and their quality of sleep. For Ogden the effects of sleep deprivation are noticeably detrimental to a student’s performance at school. “Homework is not always completed,” Ogden says. “If a student has work the night before, or didn’t get home from a game, practice, dance, etc. until after nine or 10, then to get focused and start studying is very difficult. What I see among students is that without enough sleep, they are not learning or working to their full potential.” Jeremy says during his freshman year of college he had a hard time focusing and would fall asleep occasionally during lectures—something that happened to him in high school, but still left him able to swing a solid B grade point average, that Jeremy admits could have been an A. “If you’re falling asleep in class like I was in high school, you’re probably not going to be doing too well or at least not as well as you should be doing,” he says. Jeremy’s sleeping patterns from high school carried over to college, with one major difference—the grades that came easy to Jeremy in high school weren’t coming so easily anymore and for the first time his report card had letters he had never seen before—Cs and Ds. “Right away I knew I had to do something,” he says. “But I knew I couldn’t go from sleeping at four in the morning to going to bed at 10 at night.” He decided next semester he would try to get later classes, so he could at least sleep later while he was trying to adjust his sleeping habits and not be as tired during class. In 1997 the University of Minnesota conducted research that compared students who went to school at 7:15 a.m. with those who went to school at 8:40 a.m. They found that students who went to school at 8:40 got higher grades and more sleep on weekday nights. Jeremy passed over the 7:30 and 8 a.m. classes and signed up for later ones—those at 9:30 a.m. or later, an option not given to most high school students, which in the past has led

“It’s a complete balancing act trying to fit everything in the day sometimes,” she says. “Sometimes I’m up till three or four [in the morning] just doing homework or studying for a test.” some districts to consider later school day start times. On Long Island, school typically starts around 7 a.m. But by adjusting a given district’s early start time, there is what Ogden refers to as a “domino effect” with afterschool activities. “With the possibility of a later start time, athletics and extracurricular activities would have to be pushed back, so at five during the fall, students will be playing an outdoor soccer game in the dark,” she says. “The agenda of any school is how to best serve its students; ultimately we need to look at the research and plan accordingly as educators.” For Ashley, a later start time is an impossibility with her schedule, which already runs too late into the night. “It would mess everything up,” she says. “I just have to suck it up so I can get into the college I want and hopefully I will have more flexibility then. For now, I have to deal with being tired.” Faced with an ever-increasing amount of competition for college acceptance, it’s a route many high school students are taking because they believe being tired now will be worth it in the end. But doctors say the consequences go way beyond just being tired.
MISSING THE BUS
It’s 5 a.m. on a Friday and Ashley is finishing up homework she wasn’t able to finish the night before. It’s okay, though. “Oh my God, tomorrow I get to sleep late,” she says. “I can’t wait.” Friday night and Saturday, Ashley’s schedule is completely free from anything academic and sportsrelated. But it’s also her friend’s birthday tonight, and she can’t miss the party. “Really, I would stay up late no matter what,” she says. “Just not as late.”

Teens have a biological tendency to go to sleep later and wake up later, according to Dr. Harly Greenberg, medical director of the North Shore LIJ Sleep Disorders Center. “Often times, late bed times and late wakeup times contribute directly to a vicious sleep cycle that carries over into the school week,” he says, insisting teens require eight to 10 hours of sleep but are depriving themselves of at least an hour of much-needed rest per night. “Over-scheduling of afterschool activities, homework load, and overuse of electronic devices before bed all interact with the biological tendency adolescents have to delay sleep, resulting in an insufficient amount of rest for school.” A study in the Oct. 1 issue of the journal Sleep recorded the bedtimes and wake times of kids ages 9 to 16. The children who went to bed late and got up late were 1.5 times more likely to become obese than those who went to bed early and got up early. They were also almost twice as likely to be physically inactive and 2.9 times more likely to sit in front of the TV and computer or play video games for hours. “It is widely accepted that the sleep patterns of adolescents are fundamentally different from children and adults, and that it is normal for adolescents to stay up very late and sleep in late in the morning,” says the study’s co-author Carol Maher. “Scientists have realized in recent years that children who get less sleep tend to do worse on a variety of health outcomes, including the risk of being overweight and obese.” Maher says mornings are more conducive to physical activity for young people than nights, which offer prime-time TV programming and social networking opportunities. This relationship between time of day and available activities might explain why more sedentary and screen-based behaviors were observed with later bedtimes, she said. Psychologist Saul Rothenberg of the Sleep Disorders Center says the negative effects of sleep deprivation among teens go even further. “Chronic sleep deprivation is a risk factor for the development of depression, leading to difficulties with family, teacher, and fellow student relationships,” he says. “Loss of sleep in teenagers leads to difficulty with memory and concentration, and changes in motor responses and reaction time affect athletic performance.” That impaired reaction time also presents dangers for teens behind the wheel, increasing the risk for fatiguerelated motor vehicle accidents, he says.

“We know little about the health of this age range— Even though the consequences— substance use, psychopathology, poor grades, dropout and subsequent unemployment—of sleep disturbance could be greatest.” hour can make it tough to focus the next day and can slow your response time, according to the US Department of Health and Human Services, which equates the hazards of drunk driving with those of drowsy driving. Like alcohol, a lack of sleep makes it harder to react quickly enough to a suddenly braking car, a sharp curve in the road, or other potentially dangerous situations. A research team led by Daniel Taylor, an assistant professor of psychology at the University of North Texas recommends that studies be conducted on effective interventions for sleep-deprived college students. “We know little about the health of this age range,” says Taylor. “Even though the consequences—substance use, psychopathology, poor grades, dropout and subsequent unemployment—of sleep disturbance could be greatest.” His research team not only found that students who get insufficient sleep often fall asleep while driving or have motor vehicle accidents due to sleepiness, but these students frequently use medication and alcohol as sleep aids and stimulants as alertness aids—a practice pervasive on college campuses.

associated to a higher risk of illicit drug addiction. Ashley says she and many of her high school friends will drink coffee to stay up late and again to be alert for early morning class. And on college campuses where late nights and all-nighters are a regular thing, abusing prescription drugs to focus on last-minute cramming sessions is nothing new. “Everyone takes Adderall in college,” adds Jeremy. “It’s pretty widely available.” Adderall, a stimulant drug often prescribed for those with Attention Deficit Disorder, is cheap, with each pill costing about as much as a venti latte at Starbucks. Considered one of the most commonly abused prescriptions by college students, 6.4 percent of full-time students use it, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, with higher rates at more competitive universities. Jeremy says one of his roommates who was trying to balance pledging for a fraternity with the academic demands of his freshman year of college would regularly take prescription drugs, including Adderall, known as a “smart drug” with effects similar to cocaine, to get through his busy days. “Because he was consistently drinking and partying the only way to stop drinking and partying all the time was to take Adderall and focus for hours at a time,” Jeremy says, adding that on other days he would often find his roommate asleep on the couch as he was leaving for morning classes and he would still be there sleeping when he got back at 7 p.m. Recreational drug and alcohol use go hand in hand with academic-related drug use, according to the National Survey on Drug Use and Health, which found nearly 90 percent of the full-time college students who had used unprescribed Adderall academically were also binge or heavy alcohol drinkers. They were also eight times more likely to use cocaine. Both drugs 18

carry a risk of heart attack, stroke, psychosis and sudden death. But while Ashley, who has no plans of cutting anything from her schedule just yet, says she’ll continue staying up late “naturally” using coffee as her only stimulant, Jeremy has overhauled his schedule and his sleeping habits. “It didn’t happen immediately,” he says. “I would just stare at the ceiling if I tried to go to sleep at 10, so I gradually started going to sleep five to 10 minutes earlier than I had been each night.” Currently in his sophomore year, Jeremy’s grades have improved—and so has his sleeping. He takes later classes now, shuts off his computer and phone at night and doesn’t go to sleep past midnight during the week or 2 a.m. on weekends. Now an A and B student, Jeremy keeps his extracurriculars within reason, taking on the occasional extracredit project and writing for the school paper, but he makes sure he has down time during the day to avoid those late nights. “It took a year, but it was worth not being tired all the time,” he says. “You don’t have to worry about being tired in class because you’ve gotten enough sleep.” Some of his roommates are still taking Adderall, partying during the week and sticking to their late-night routines, regardless of the risks. Even Jeremy admits he still watches the sun come up every now and then, just not on the regular basis he did before. And there still are those nights when all six of them will pull an allnighter for absolutely no reason— seeing who can get the ball in the cup from the other side of the room, jumping in the school fountain at midnight because their team won or because they know they only have two more years of spring breaks and summer vacations. Or just because they can.

E-cyCling Recycle Or Die
by Licia Avelar lavelar@longislandpress.com /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Electronics have pretty much taken over our lives. They let us communicate, enjoy entertainment, they educate us, and in some medical circumstances they help save lives. But like most other things in our world, electronics have a shelf life and eventually end up in the trash. Decades ago it used to be acceptable to chuck the old television set you’ve had since you were 12 in the trash, but times are a changin’. Now electronics production is at an all-time high and older models are constantly being replaced with newer ones; the definition of old has changed. An “old” electronic was something you had for years, but now it’s mere months. Getting rid of an “old” iPod or mouse after six months is starting to add up. According to Consumer Electronics Association, Americans now own almost 24 electronic products per household. That’s a lot of garbage; in fact, experts estimate that U.S. consumers throw away more than 400 million units of electronic equipment each year. To combat the growing e-waste problem, governments have taken notice and are holding manufacturers, retailers and consumers responsible to extend the life of valuable products and prevent hazardous materials that contain toxins like lead and mercury from going into the waste stream. Currently, manufacturers are now required to offer electronic collections to consumers. Just a few years ago, New York became one of 25 states to institute an e-waste law, The NYS Electronic Equipment Recycling and Reuse Act, which requires manufacturers to collect a defined amount based on their sales and an annual per capita statewide goal. The progressive law requires manufacturers to provide free and convenient recycling of electronic waste to New York consumers. Electronic retailers also offer take-back programs and sponsor special recycling events. New York Best Buy stores offer an e-cycling program allowing customers to return household electronics. Each store accepts nearly everything electronic including DVD players, TVs and laptops and has kiosks for small items like iTunes cards and cell chargers at every entrance. Staples also offers an e-cycling program called Eco Easy plus a technology trade-in service that’s proving successful; they collected more than 10 million pounds

of old technology in 2010 alone. Recycling facilities have also stepped up. Registered Electronic Waste Recycling Facilities under the act include: Arrow Scrap Corporation in Wheatley Heights, Crestwood Metal Corporation in Holbrook, e-Green Management LLC in Bohemia, E-Solutions USA LLC in Hauppauge, Guzu Inc. in Deer Park, Green Solutions Group in Amityville, and PK Metals in Coram. All collect old electronics. In Nassau County there’s AHRC Nassau Vocational Training Center in Freeport and King Metal Corporation of New York in Oceanside. But it’s not just the manufacturer or retailer that is being held responsible for e-waste. Both private and public haulers are now prohibited from collecting electronic waste, except for recycling and disposing e-waste at landfills and waste-to-energy facilities in New York. And by 2015, all consumers will be prohibited from disposing covered electronic equipment including computers, TVs, video game consoles and others, in landfills or waste-to-energy facilities. For consumers looking to get rid of their “old” electronics, they can choose to donate or do a trade-in at any of the above locations or at local electronic drop boxes that can be found throughout the Island, including Oyster Bay Public Library and West Babylon’s Bergen Point Golf Course, among others. Consumers can also join The Freecycle Network (Freecycle.org), a site which connects people with items to give away, to see if someone else in the area can use their old electronics.

Happy Hunger Games! And may the odds be ever in your favor By Kristi Cerami
The first installment of Suzanne Collins’ best-selling trilogy, The Hunger Games, hit the big screen on Friday, March 23, devouring over $155 million. The phenomenon holds the record for best opening weekend for a non-sequel, and with which only The Dark Knight (2009) and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (2011) can compete.
In summary, the story of The Hunger Games is as follows: in a country known as Panem, there are twelve districts, each specializing in its own job for the government. For example, District 12 specializes in coal mining, District 11 in agriculture, etc. Each year, there is an event called the “Reaping,” in which The Capitol, (Panem’s government) randomly selects one male and one female between the ages of 12 and 18 from each district to participate in the annual Hunger Games. An arena engineered and controlled by the Capitol holds the 24 Panem citizens where they fight to the death to be the last one standing—the victor.
Millions of fans all over the country were heard reciting the movie’s most popular quote, “May the odds be ever in your favor,” opening night. Retail stores alone made millions of dollars on merchandise consisting of T-shirts, necklaces, figurines, headphones, and even pillow cases with Katniss Everdeen’s flame-engulfed “mockingjay” symbol. The main character and District 12 tribute, Katniss Everdeen, was played by the beautiful Jennifer Lawrence, whose name will certainly become one to remember after snagging such a big role. The casting
for the part of Katniss could not have been done more perfectly given that Lawrence truly embodies Katniss, both physically and emotionally, with ease. Working alongside Katniss in the arena, we are introduced to Peeta Mellark, played by the already wellknown Josh Hutcherson. The casting for the role of Peeta is one aspect of the film that I do believe the producers could have done better. Though Hutcherson certainly did a fine job of grasping the role, there is something about the actor that clashes with this particular character…

COCKTAIL CULTURE @ COE HALL Ongoing. Cocktails, 1920s glamour and illegal activity? Yes, please. Long Island was one of the most notorious routes for illegal liquor when prohibition agents patrolled the highways, speakeasies in the village of Oyster Bay were notorious and the Coe Hall mansion saw its share of drunken debauchery. This exhibit explores the liquid evolution of the cocktail—its history in fashion, bar accessories and popular imagery along with fabulous clothes by some of the greatest designers of the time such as Mariano Fortuny, Elsa Schiaparelli and Salvatore Ferragamo and more. Also included in the exhibit are beautiful hats by Tatiana of Saks 5th Ave and by Adrian of Hollywood. Through 9.30.—JG

when last year the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences tapped Esperanza Spalding for this award over the likes of Justin Bieber and Drake. Making this all the moreimpressive was the fact that Spalding was the first jazz artist to win this award.

Saturday 4.21 Esperanza Spalding @ Webster Hall Performers who win Best New Artist Grammys oftentimes veer towards the realm of irrelevant and lightweight (Milli Vanilli anyone?). So imagine the shock
All of these stores had to submit requests to the RSD headquarters on which releases they wanted to get in their particular store. Due to very limited numbers (some have less than 1,000 pressings nationwide) stores are not guaranteed every release. Talk to your local record storeowner to find out specifics. Aside from releases, some of these stores are planning events for the day. Looney Tunes already announced an in-store performance of Brookvale Records recording artist Grace Read. For a peek at a list of the releases, including Long Island’s own Taking Back Sunday, Straylight Run and more check out www.recordstoreday.com. Saturday, 4.21. — Anthony Dobrini

THE VAGINA MONOLOGUES 2012
For more than 12 years, The Vagina Monologues has given voice to the humanity of women and has raised more than $75 million for women’s anti-violence groups throughout the world. As part of the National V-Day Campaign, a global movement to end violence against women and girls, Eve Ensler’s award-winning, humorous, and graceful episodic play will be read at Plaza Cinema & Media Arts Center in Patchogue from 8 to 10 p.m on April 20. Based on Ensler’s interviews with more than 200 women of all ages and stages of life, the piece celebrates women’s sexuality and strength. While a portion of the proceeds will be donated to the women of Haiti as part of this V-Day reading, the remainder will go to support Girls Incorporated of Long Island, a non-profit whose mission is to inspire girls to be strong, smart and bold. —Jaclyn Gallucci

A dozen up-and-coming unsigned LI bands you need to know this year By Mike Ventimiglia
In the early to mid-aughts, Long Island’s music scene was experiencing a renaissance. Local bands like Taking Back Sunday, Brand New, As Tall As Lions, and From Autumn to Ashes were outgrowing the local scene, and becoming nationally recognized names. With this new wave of talent, interest in the Island grew to staggering proportions, and comparisons to Seattle of the early ’90s were not uncommon. Indeed, in May of 2005, New York Magazine’s Mark Jacobson wrote, “Long Island, land of lawns and tract homes with—of course—garages, has given birth to the country’s hottest rock-and-roll scene. Just don’t mention Seattle.” But with every great renaissance, there is a decline. Since the emo explosion, Long Island’s national presence has grown quiet. But it’s been 10 years since Taking Back Sunday released their scenedefining debut, Tell All Your Friends…and things are getting loud again. With bands offering everything from pop-rock to post-punk, Long Island may not have the unified sound it did in the emo days, but the talent is every bit as notable.
Photo by Dan Bassini
Some of those bands have found homes at labels and are experiencing tastes of success on a national (and sometimes international) scale: acts like Twin Sister, Sainthood Reps, Daytrader, and Lights Resolve, among others. But Long Island has a host of unsigned bands ready to make that leap, too. The below list is not comprehensive, nor does it presume to be; it merely represents a small cross-section of the Long Island talent that will soon be known beyond these shores. Wiretap Crash, Playing Dead, Con The Villian, Iron Chic, Warm Needles, My Summer, John Wilkes Booth and Death Spiral Financing are some others. (Note: Though some of the bands featured here are on labels, those labels are much smaller and more localized than those of their “signed” peers.)
Giants at Large facebook.com/giantsatlarge
An East Meadow/Hicksville-based pop-punk quartet, Giants at Large formed in 2010 after the collapse of their previous project, Valet Parking. Retooling their sound to blend aggression with melody, the quartet has become a part of a pop-punk scene whose mentality is more Minor Threat than Motion City Soundtrack. With an EP, a split with New Jersey natives Major League, and a slew of singles and covers, they have been playing throughout the country in support of their catalogue. They plan to release their first full-length later this year, after self-recording it in their basement home studio in East Meadow.
Listen To: “New Mexico” off their split 7”, “Pasini’s Birthday Bash” off their The Acoustic EP, and “Hold On Kid” and “The Best Has yet to Come” off their EP The Best Has yet to Come.

Hoodie Allen hoodieallen.com
Nassau County rapper/songwriter Hoodie Allen is a prime candidate for bringing national attention back to Long Island. With his most recent album, All American, reaching the coveted No. 1 spot on iTunes (a massive achievement for an unsigned act), Allen combines genre-spanning influences in a balanced and original fashion. Whether sampling UK pop group Marina and the Diamonds or indie icons Death Cab for Cutie, Allen displays a musical diversity, and his lyrics offer unique narratives. Currently on a full U.S. tour with Wax, Allen will be out through the end of May in support of All American.

News
Columns
Since their formation in 2010, this five-piece pop-punk band from East Meadow/Floral Park have used their songs to voice their distaste for the state of Long Island’s various musical scenes. Playing both locally and throughout the Northeast, the band looks to tour the country this summer. In 2011 they released their debut EP, The Elephant in the Room, on Meadowbrook Records (a Long Island imprint started by local enthusiast Mark Masterson), offering an abrasively honest brand of melodic pop-punk.

Patent Pending
MUSIC FEATURE
patentpendingmusic.com
Since Patent Pending’s beginnings in 2001, they have undergone various personnel changes; however, their brand of comedic-yet-sincere songwriting has remained a staple in Long Island’s pop-punk scene. The band has released a number of EPs and records both independently and with small labels. They’ve done Warped Tour thrice, and toured with bands like Cobra Star Ship and Gym Class Heroes. On their 2011 release, Second Family, the band offers their most refined work to date. Singer/frontman Joe Ragosta offers a unique blend of heart-warming sentiment and nostalgia-driven pop-culture references. Recent winners of Billboard’s Battle of the Bands Northeast Region contest, the quintet will head to Las Vegas and compete in a battle of the bands, with a chance to play the Billboard Awards. The band will be playing this year’s Bamboozle Festival, and touring with Bowling For Soup this spring.
Robbers myspace.com/robbers
Nassau County alternative/indie quartet Robbers strike a balance between the lightness of their electronic and pop folk influences, and the gravity of their indie, alternative, and rock influences. With a schizophrenic dynamic between spoken-word rants and clean vocals, the band buffers their genre’s extremes. Formed in 2008, Robbers have released two EPs (one of which, 2009’s Flesh, was through San Francisco-based indie label Unicorns). In September 2011, the band released their first full-length, Fear to Face Beauty, via their Bandcamp site. Robbers recently released their latest full-length, Delicious, Dark Myths, also via bandcamp; on the album, Robbers provide ambient instruments, dynamic vocals and pleasingly shifty moods.
Listen to: “I Already Know” and Shake Weight and Moving Crates” off Second Family, and “She Only Wants My Blood” off I’m Not Alone. Recommended for fans of: Motion City Soundtrack, Simple Plan, Bowling For Soup.
Listen to: “Stay Together” off Flesh, “Grubby Smut” off Delicious, Dark Myths, “Faun/Late” off Fear to Face Beauty
Blending mid-2000s pop-punk/emo with modern alternative influences, Garden City’s No Good News may not be as musically aggressive as their peers in the pop-punk scene, but their lyrics and attitude more than make up for it. The quartet offers horns throughout their debut selftitled EP, which gives their sound a welcome freshness.
NGHBRS facebook.com/nghbrs
Nassau County progressive indierock quartet NGHBRS are a musical powerhouse that’s both ambient and aggressive. On their 2011 EP, Hellomind, the songs often experiment with effects, noises and auxiliary instruments, but their real strength is found in bringing those abstracts back to the body of the song. On their just-released track, “Paper Limbs,” NGHBRS display their consistency and originality.

Azariah facebook.com/azariahband
A post-hardcore outfit from East Meadow, this five-piece understands their genre, and exemplifies their favorite aspects of it. Instead of avoiding genre clichés, Azariah embraces them only to fine-tune them. They released their EP, Perspectives, in 2011, and have already moved to record more material this spring.

Family Lumber facebook.com/familylumber
Hicksville-based singer-songwriter Mike Tietjan spans genres including folk, pop and indie rock. Tietjan’s project, Family Lumber, has released a number of EPs since 2006. Often playing with a backing band of rotating musicians, Family Lumber manages to explore genres with a consistency. Whether it’s restrained verses or a belted chorus, Tietjan is able to gel his styles cohesively.
Listen To: “Mr. Grey” and “Pills for the Havoc” off their debut LP, Connections. Recommended for fans of: Underoath, Defeater, Norma Jean
Life Between Sleep facebook.com/lifebetweensleep
Less indie and more rock, Bethpage quartet Life Between Sleep formed back in 2008, and have since gone through multiple line-up changes, but throughout that state of flux, were able to sit back and retool. The quartet’s most recent efforts, Storms and The Storm Sessions, display their refinement. The band have been working on a new EP, which is due out later this year.

Nassau County natives Kills and Thrills blend Southern style with their aggressive brand of hardcore. Grouped into the fragmented hardcore scene, the four-piece has replaced breakdowns and keys with a less clichéd approach peppered with southern rock. Having toured the United States, Canada and Europe, Kills and Thrills look to round the country again this summer.
Listen To: “Dirty Birds” and “Fight Riff” off Liars, as well as the Motorhead cover “Ace of Spades” off the split Old Lives. Recommended for fans of: This is Hell, Cancer Bats, Stray From the Path News
