Under the influence of Rich Kids on LSD and Propagandhi -- minus the anarcho-politics -- members Tom Petta (vocals/guitar), John (basso), Josh (guitar), and Dan (drums) didn't waste any time with their initial releases. Coming to the attention of Fearless Records through and through Strung Out's Jim Cherry, the banding appeared on a fistful of compilations and two EPs before their number one uncut, un Merry Melodies, was released in 1997 courtesy of Fearless. Two long time and some heavy touring followed before the followup, Stay Asleep, came proscribed on Kung Fu Records in 1999. The guys returned to Fearless for August 2001's An Invitation to Tragedy, a faster, heavier album interracial by Ryan Greene (Lagwagon, No Use for a Name). Numerous penis changes (lag members Jeremy Hernandez and Max Béchard went on to variant Near Miss together) and injuries plagued the band, causation small touring and a five-year gap between albums. With a lasting batting order eventually in place -- Petta, Zak (bass), Jeff Powers (guitar), and Keith (drums) -- Bigwig released the muscular, and long overdue, Reclamation in February 2006. |
