Artist History Formed in 1997 by front man Sonnyboy James after the release of his song "Gonna Get It, Nazi Punk!" on the Moon Ska Records compilation "Skarmagedon 3". The song was taken from a demo recorded entirely by Sonny, but the new live line-up took his already promising songs to a new level of energy and musicianship. The band has been playing regularly in and around New York City ever since. After spending much of 1999 in the studio, the Trespassers started off the new millennium with the release of their first full length CD, "The Adventures of Los Bandoleros".
