One gets the impression that Justin Curfman - award-winning animator/filmmaker and Feeding Fingers mastermind - sleeps very little. And not just because of his relentless pursuit of various artistic endeavors.

As a fun, energy-packed duo that both raps and shreds, FutureShock is impacting the local scene with their style of go-get it.
