The Platonic Crushes

College tore them apart and music brought them back together; The Platonic Crushes' story is something truly remarkable. It's about endearing the pains of reality and churning out artistically viable music that can be sold to the masses for larges gains of profit that are directly transferred to third world countries. But let's start at the beginning....

All they ever wanted to do was play music, that is, until they started playing in high school band. Then they wanted to form a suicide pact. Luckily, that never happened. And after one night of illicit other worldly activities, the trio rediscovered their love for music. None of them can really recollect or put into words what exactly they experienced, but they assure, "It must have been wicked sweet slash awesome."

Questionable activities aside, the trio of girls decided they wanted to explore their new found interest in music together. They formed a pact that they signed with a mixture of blood, alcohol, and heroin. The blood was theirs, the heroin wasn’t. They drew straws to decide who’d to what: Katazyna, vocals and guitar; Kammaka, bass; Colette, drums.
