Nope, same band. Except they sound more like Sum 41 now (Rock, Alternative Metal) on their latest album "Muertos Vivos". You can listen to some of the album on playlist.com, look for these tracks:
"We're All Dying" - 3:26
"War is a Cemetery" - 3:13
"Dead End Love" - 3:22
"Prescription" - 3:03
"Underground" - 3:35
"Still Feel Nothing" - 4:38
"Banshee Song" - 4:41
"18" - 4:19
"About My Summer" - 3:45
"Face the Ashes" - 3:30
"Open Wounds" - 3:52
"Wake Up" - 4:13

d'Addario also offers string packs for downtuning your guitar as well. i wouldn't recommend using anything smaller than a set of .12s to go down to C. the strings will still feel rather soft which makes it easy to play bad sounding chords if you inadvertently pull the strings out of tune while forming the shape with your hand. nothing a little bit of practice won't overcome though.

Thanks
You saying .12 or .012? Because I have a set of Acoustic strings here now that are .012-.053, of course I can't use those but they don't seem very thick or have very much tension.
