1) A 1950s American doo-wop group.

2) In 2002, under the names The German Poodles and Dysfunctional Colors, two softcore punk-ska bands merged forming the surface scraping Sunday Mourning. Kevin Coccio, Benjamin Tucker, Josh Freedman, and the then drive of the band Marcus Nero held together for about a year until Marcus, Kevin and Ben decided that the rythmic skills of former drummer Josh Freedman were keeping them grounded. They enlisted August Spy drummer Mike Anderson who not only gave them a hardcore sound, but also gave them shows and publicity. However, due to creative differences and in attempt to break free from their previously assigned genre, Benjamin moved from bass to drums, and Marcus and Kevin stayed on guitars. This trio began to write and rehearse, and in the chilly yet sunny month of February 2007, Kyle Miller joined the group on the bass. After a few shows and a shot in the newspaper, the band took in the guitarist from the local band Sideshow, Richard Farrands, on keyboards. Soon after, due to complications and disagreements, the band decided to part ways until they started playing music again in the summer of 2009. As the future of the band remains uncertain, the members are all pursuing other projects in the meantime, as well as post-high school academics.
