After a seven-year hiatus, founding members, Yas Taalat and Bobby McIntosh have returned with their newest and highly ambitious album, The Throwaway Kids, featuring collaborative efforts from such notable musicians as Bea, D- Sisive, Mag-T and Ellie Lawson.

"When we released our first album, it was what the title said, Blood Music - music is blood, blood is oxygen - music is our bloodline," Taalat said. "With Throwaway Kids , it means just that. Throwaway kids are everything that goes against the norms. We are the overlooked, the forgotten, the misunderstood and the neglected. We are for the outcasts, the punks, the rebels, the bullied and the subcultures - we are all things socially conscious."
