    Artist History
    Back in 1996, two friends(Chris W. and Paul R.) wanted to start a band called Fritz, named after a local pub. So, Paul R. taught himself to play a mean guitar, while Chris W. worked on his vocal "talent", and later learned to play guitar. They began writing weezer-esque songs, which they would record live onto a 2-track tape recorder. Paul R.'s little brother, Dan R., learned to play a wicked bass with the help of the first Nerf Herder LP. Songs would continue being written and recorded, without drums, up to present day.
