Artist History Ok, this is the story and I'm sticking to it. Me and Mike ('s) Behind, AKA Mike Melody, decided we were going to start a band expressing the true energy of Hardcore as well as THE POWER OF THE ALMIGHTY TITTY TWISTER! Me and Mike M. searched far and wide for a select group of kids to start this band. All went well until the drummer and singer of said line-up dared say that a Wet Willie was more powerful than the Almighty Titty Twister (c'mon a T.T. can make a NYHC Toughguy cry like a little girl). To create less tension between every one, Mike (being the good little doobie he is), created two bands. Well of course the other band wrote 12 songs and played a half dozen shows before I could come up with a single kid that could play any thing besides pots and pans or a Redneck Ho-Down jug, so Mike's efforts were obviously needed more over their. I had all but lost hope until I had a premonition. I was sitting in front of the stage at the Living Room. Master Yoda was sitting in front of me and he spoke these words " Worry you not, rafters lead to answers you seek. Lift your mind, your body, your soul." Latter that night I sat down to watch STRIFE: ONE TRUTH LIVE, with Josh and his girlfriend Beth. When the scene where they play Lift in the Living Room, Beth made some comment about how "Shiite" the Living Room is. Josh, with a swiftness I had never seen from him, ravished Beth's nipple with a West Warwick style Titty Twister. During the ride to the emergency room to treat the injuries resulting from Beth's severe beating of him, Josh agreed to play guitar for me and Mike's band. The Band was originally called "First Alert", and we had recruited Josh's High School friend Sean to play drums. The first problem that arose was we got slapped with a cease and desist order from First Alert Inc. We settled out of court with them (they showed up at me and Josh's dorm and beat us with their new line of fire extinguishers, which work fantastically on grease fires as well as forest fires), but they allowed me to continue being called Kirk Alert. Our second problem was Sean would never show up for practice. To get him straight, Mike, Josh, and I taught him a lesson known as "The Barrage of the Three Venoms Titty Twister". Since that day Sean has never missed a practice. Finally we had a complete band, songs, and even a new name; Three Years Behind, yet something was still missing. Sean had been jamming with another band and he asked Josh if they could practice in our space, which he Okayed. We all decided to go listen to the other band, and upon walking in we saw an attractive girl with a shaved head playing guitar. We were deeply disgusted when the girl turned around and revealed himself to be a man. After mass vomiting by all, we talked to the kid, named Kevin, and he turned out to bee pretty cool, so we asked him to join the band as long as he started working out so he would get a more manly figure. So the line up end up being Mike Melody- Vocals and Disturbing Gay Jokes, Kirk- bass, Sean- drums, Josh- guitar, and Kevin- guitar. This went great for a while and many classic anthems of youth and titty twisting were written. But the unfortunate had to happen, Mike had to leave the band to work on his other projects. His belief in the Titty Twister did not fade though and he still comes out and supports us. Well the search for a new singer was a long and trouble some process. It seemed that the age of the Titty Twister might never come about. Our good friend xBatmaNx (Matt Amore) from the band Escher came out to shout some words for us so we could play our first official show with Escher and Advocate. Matt did his best to show off his Freestyle Mc-ing during our set and it went fairly well for being totally unprepared. I think I was momentarily deaf or something (cough.cou-bad sound system-gh. cough), cause I couldn't hear anything for the first song. After our set a large, tough looking kid asked if he could try out. This tough looking kid turned out to be the big warm Teddy Bear that we all known as Justin Lang. His vocals and un-yielding enthusiasm brought new dimensions to the band. We played our first show with him on Feb. 19th 2000, to an amazing response. There's just something breath-taking about watching Justin jump kick off the stage, AAAAHHHHHH. Well be on the look out cause. THE TITTY TWISTER REVOLUTION HAS BEGUN JOIN THE FIGHT!!!!

Press Reviews Listen.com's Doug R. says "Dissonant chords, pummeling chuggage and inexhaustible energy combine to from a sound that's part old school D.C. Hardcore and part Emo. Vocals are half confrontational, half conversational, recalling the seminal work of Minor Threat or Embrace."
