At least four bands are known to have used this name: 1) Seattle, WA-based punk project headed by Norman Durkee.

As you might hear it’s not some gutter punks fooling around in the studio. These guys have some real talent and knows exactly what they’re doing. It could’ve resulted in some so so jumping on the bandwagon record but no no they manage to crank out the exact right feeling.

All of their songs (minus "Sex with Three Ex's") have strong Christian themes and undertones within the lyrics. Their current website is myspace.com/helenkellernc. 3) There is also electronic artis
