If I had never heard of them, I can say almost certainly I would skip over these in the store based on the name and bands alone. I hate to admit it, but it's true!

We plan to redesign the band as soon as we are done with our current project. We are going to be launching a new website soon! (auction, reviews and more) I agree with you, I think we have a very ugly band. If we held an ugliest band contest, I think we would win.
