It’s a barbershop quartet, so [barbershop music](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbershop_music) and no instruments. > [@cynyc](#): > > Thumbs down to the Sharps. Common term for serious knives and Bayonets and stuff.

So you’re techies who all practice a particular aural discipline? I hope you like good solid obscure wordplay… Since you’re Sonic Techs, how about calling yourselves Tonic Sechs? That either results in a grin or a groan, I know. 😛 ---
