Artist History Starting as a Power Trio, Alien Bait (with Rick on Bass) began by attempting to make a mark in the recently abandoned Youngstown music scene. Taking inspiration from Boogieman Smash, The Revelers, The Deli Bandits, Blogurt, The Frampton Brothers, Over Your Head, and others, these 3 lads decided to see what music they could start. Alien Bait was formed from members of two other bands, the band DON,and the band The Boondoggles. After sharing the stage with the likes of Rich Creamy Paint, Frogpond, and The Terrifying Experience, they have developed a unique sound with a seasoning of pop sensibilty.
