Formed on the Lower East Side, NYC, by Al Landess guitar and lead vocals originally from Texas who was highly influenced by old school punk rock (ala Social Distortion and Stiff Little Fingers). Ned Lindsay on bass from South Carolina, who pummels the heavy famous blown out sound with fury reminiscence of those early 80's bands such as Weirdo's, Germs, and 45 Grave. Glenn Kearney on drums, from New Jersey, who moves the band with his galloping beats that make you want to do the 2-step on 2 cups of double expresso. And later joined by by Paul Kostabi on guitar and backing vocals from California who has been in such critically acclaimed bands as White Zombie and Youth Gone Mad.
These guys are the real thing, not just some art school outsiders looking in with bleeding hearts sympathy or pseudo angst rehash of Poli-Sci 101, but brash survivors. Having been through the grind of New York City's streets and lived to tell about it. Dubbed "New York's Best Unsigned Band", we encourage you to check them out Live when you get a chance. But for now we invite you to pop in their new CD Blanche, let your hair down, toss back a few and forget that sometimes life can be a Pain In The Ass.....
