Chris met Peter (keys and bass) in late 2010 and it was obvious that there was a unique musical dialogue. After some intense songwriting and demos, they discovered and recruited Michael (drums, percussion) after playing with him only once. The band worked tirelessly focusing their energy on unique and interesting songwriting, their trademark tight sound, and trying to revive a stagnant local music scene.
After a humbling tour of the Pacific Northwest and a grueling recording process for their debut Ep, "The Molecules Ep", the band is focused on getting their music out to everyone in the San Francisco bay area and beyond.
Setting up home base at Love at First Slice (formerly Shaker's Pizza) and helping to turn it into a legitimate local venue was a huge turning point for the band. "Ive always been a little bummed about the local scene in the bay area. Awesome venues closing down, a general apathy about local artists, and a generally diluted scene has been sort of depressing," says Chris, "Having a great small venue with great food and great people is really important for local bands. We get to book shows for locals that we love and there is always a great turn out. I love that we get to be a part of that."
Sharing bills with local favorites Speak Friend, Bonnie and the Bang Bang, Stop Motion Poetry, The Trims, Early States, Sunrunners, and The Common Men, Spanish Cannons are well on their way into the ears and hearts of bay area concert goers. They plan to have their new album, yet untitled, out by the first week of February.

Ah, action movie science. Where cars explode like bombs when bumped even slightly, falling twenty feet is more lethal than getting shot in the face, and apparently tungsten rods drop out of the sky as if orbital mechanics aren't a thing:
ERHEM... To paint a full picture: If the Zeus system satellites are situated in Low Earth Orbit (LEO), they'll be orbiting at a velocity of around 8.1 km/sec (Traveling 8,100 meters every second). About mach 30-ish. Releasing the tungsten rod from the satellite would result in... a tungsten rod that hangs out near the satellite, or even eventually floats back into it. (Because relative position in low orbits gets fun).
To get the kinetic-kill function of the rod, you have to then perform a de-orbit burn. That is, you have to slow the rod down so that the lowest part of its orbit enters the atmosphere, at which point, atmospheric friction will slow it down until the orbit trace intercepts the ground. You don't have to slow down MUCH, maybe a few hundred meters per second. But it should be important to note:
1 - You are not 'dropping' the rod the way most people imagine (straight down from above). Rather, you will release and perform your de-orbit/target intercept burn from half an orbit away. The rod will then orbit around to reentry interface, then the orbit will curve inwards as it slows down. Your calculations need to be well and finished to be accurate.
2 - It will still take half an hour from time of release to impact.
3 - The rod will not hit like a nuke. Snapping up some calculators: A ten ton (10,000 kg) rod traveling at 7 km/sec on impact will hit with 245,000 Megajoules (MJ) of kinetic energy. 1 kilogram of TNT is equal to 4.185 MJ of energy. Thus, easy math: 245,000 / 4.185 = 58,556 kg TNT. Or 58.556 tons of TNT. You're not even a tactical nuke. You're just bad news for a city block or two. In comparison, the Beirut explosion was estimated between 300 and 1100 tons of TNT. Or anywhere from maybe half a kiloton to a kiloton.
Either way, you're not getting the tidal wave of rock that essentially crumbles London to dust. I'd be more worried about the ejecta from the impact site landing on people.

I want it all, I want it all, I want it all, and I want it now
Adventure seeker on an empty street
Just an alley creeper, light on his feet
A young fighter screaming, with no time for doubt
With the pain and anger can't see a way out
It ain't much I'm asking, I heard him say
Gotta find me a future move out of my way
I want it all, I want it all, I want it all, and I want it now
I want it all, I want it all, I want it all, and I want it now
Listen all you people, come gather round
I gotta get me a game plan, gotta shake you to the ground
But just give me, huh, what I know is mine
People do you hear me, just gimme the sign
It ain't much I'm asking, if you want the truth
Here's to the future for the dreams of youth
I want it all (give it all I want it all)
I want it all (yeah)
I want it all and I want it now
I want it all (yes I want it all)
I want it all hey
I want it all and I want it now
I'm a man with a one track mind
So much to do in one lifetime (people do you hear me)
Not a man for compromise and where's and why's and living lies
So I'm living it all, yes I'm living it all
And I'm giving it all, and I'm giving it all
Oh oh yeah yeah ha ha ha ha ha
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
I want it all
It ain't much I'm asking, if you want the truth
Here's to the future
Hear the cry of youth (hear the cry of youth) (hear the cry of youth)
I want it all, I want it all, I want it all and I want it now
I want it all yeah yeah yeah
I want it all, I want it all and I want it now
Oh oh oh oh oh
And I want it (now)
I want it, I want it
Oh ha

Imagine if they didn't think the entire plan through and dropped the warhead from space and it just orbited the Earth with all the world leaders watching.

@Samuel Chung somewhat. A large metal rod dropped from orbit would be as powerful as a Nuke upon impact but the rest is partially inaccurate
Dylan
@Besnik Zogaj a kenetic rod would be better
General
Just put rods with thrusters..

@Shadowkey392 reminds me of O.D.I.N. From cod ghosts

The fact that this movie ends on a happy ending is hilarious, considering how an entire city was just destroyed, millions of people potentially dead, the entire financial market would crash since London is the second largest global financial centre in the world, global chaos and recession/depression, etc. I know it's just a movie but it wouldn't hurt for some throwaway line somewhere to explain it or SOME acknowledgment at the end of all the dead, but no apparently it's a happy ending
Sam Alvey
Exactly! The United Kingdom would effectively cease to exist as a functioning nation as a result of this, to say nothing of the global consequences.
J Jaden
@Sriram actually atleast marvel makes the effort to acknowledge and explain this
Logan Grimnar
Better would be for them to say it was just a CGI rendering for the world leaders, but cobra was awful at making that point clear.
