Artist History WE STARTED IN 1992,WE RECORDED OUR 1ST DEMO IN 1993. BEER CITY RECORDS PICKED IT UP AND PUT OUT A 7".IN 1994 WE BACKED IT UP WITH A 5 WEEK U.S.TOUR. WE RECORDED ANOTHER 7" FOR BEER CITY RECORDS IN 1995 AND BACKED IT UP WITH A SUMMER TOUR. THAT SAME YEAR WE WERE FEATURED ON THE LOONEY BIN COMP. C.D. LONNEY BIN RECORDS., IN 1996 WE WENT TO MILLWAUKEE,WI. TO RECORD A FULL LENGTH C.D. FOR BEER CITY RECORDS, LATER THAT YEAR WE WENT ON A 2 MONTH TOUR TO PROMOTE THE C.D. IN 1997 WE WERE FEATURED ON A PUNK WISH COMP. C.D FOR THE MAKE A WISH FOUNATION, ALL THE MONEY MADE FROM THE C.D. WENT TO A DIEING KIDS LAST WISH. LATER ON THAT YEAR WE WERE FEATURED ON ANOTHER PUNK COMP. C.D. OF UNRELEASED MITERIAL FROM ALL THE BANDS. IN 1998 OUR LONG TIME FRIEND AND BASS PLAYER SCOTT GOT MARRIED AND QUIT THE BAND. WE COULD'NT FIND ANYONE THAT WE LIKED OR TRUSTED TO JOIN US, SO THE RYTHM GUITAR PLAYER DENNIS TRADED HIS GUITAR FOR BASS. TURNING US INTO A THREE PIECE. WE WENT INTO THE STUDIO IN 1999, THE FIRST TIME RECORDING AS A TRIO, AND RECORDED "THE BALLS OUT WAY OF LIFE" C.D. FOR FIRMAMENT RECORDS. THIS WAS THE MOST POWERFUL C.D. TO DATE, BUT THE LYRICS ARE REAL OFFENCIVE. IT WAS RELEASED FEB. 2000. WE PLAYED ALOT IN CALIFORNIA AND NEVADA TO PROMOTE THIS ALBUMN BUT WE NEVER TOURED FOR IT. LATE 2000 WE WERE FEATURED ON A PUNK COMP. C.D. PUT OUT BY MY OWN WALLET RECORDS. IN 2001 WE WERE FEATURED ON THE BEER CITY COMP. C.D. BLACK EYES AND BROKEN BOTTLES ALL THE SONGS WERE UNRELEASED SONGS BY BEER CITY BANDS. I STARTED GOING TO CHURCH LATE 2000, MY LIFE WAS VERY EMPTY AND MEANINGLESS. I WAS TIERD OF THE BOOZE DRUGS AND VIOLENCE SO I GAVE MY LIFE TO THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. I WAS STILL PLAYING IN THE BAND BUT IT DIDN'T FEEL RIGHT SINGING THE SAME SONGS FROM MY PAST LIFE. AROUND MAY OF 2001 AFTER LOTS OF PRAYERS MY GOOD FRIEND AND BASS PLAYER DENNIS GAVE GAVE HIS LIFE TO THE LORD TOO. THAT IS WHEN WE PUT IT ALL ON THE ALTER FOR GOD AND GAVE HIM OUR BAND. WE WENT OUT AND BURNED THE C.D.S OF OUR BAND AND STOPED PLAYING THE SONGS. OUR DRUMMER AT THE TIME DID'NT WANT TO CHANGE HIS WAYS, SO DENNIS AND I PRAYED ABOUT IT AND WE FELT LIKE GOD WAS SAYING GET RID OF THE GUY SO WE DID. 2 DAYS LATER WE MET OUR NEW DRUMMER JAVIER AT CHURCH. I LOCKED MYSELF IN MY ROOM WITH A GUITAR AND A BIBLE AND WITH A LITTLE TIME AND A LOT OF PRAYER MADE UP A BUNCH OF NEW SONGS. THE 3 OF US WENT INTO THE STUDIO TO GET THEM TIGHTNED UP. I FELT LIKE THIS WAS THE BEST MATERIAL THIS BAND HAS EVER PLAYED. IT'S HARD FAST AGRESSIVE AND POWERFUL. I THANK GOD AND GIVE HIM THE GLORY FOR THE SONGS AND ALL THE THINGS HE HAS DONE FOR THIS BAND. WE STARTED PLAYING SHOWS IN NOV. 2001, WE PLAY ALMOST EVERY WEEKEND. IN 2002 THE BAND PICKED UP A SPONSERSHIP FROM SKATEFREEK.COM. SKATEFREEK IS A CHRISTAIN OWNED SKATE BOARD MANUFATURE AND CLOTHING COMPANY. WE PICKED UP THORN BOARD CO. AS ANOTHER SPONERSHIP IN MAY 2002 THORN IS A SK8 CLOTHING & DECK MANUFATURE, THORN IS DOWN WITH GOD AND PUNK ROCK WE ARE STOAKED TO BE A PART OF BOTH OF THESE SKATE COMPANY. IN MAY 2002 WE RECORDED THE 150 DEMO, OUR FIRST RELEASE WITH THE NEW LINE UP. WE WENT BACK INTO THE STUDIO DECEMBER 2002 TO RECORD A 13 SONG C.D. WE FINISHED THE RECORDING IN MAY 2003, IT WAS CALLED "HYMNS OF HOLY HARDCORE" AND WAS RELEASED ON HHC RECORDS AS THEIR FIRST RELEASE. WE PICKED UP A STRING ENDORSEMENT FROM EVERLY ROCKER GUITAR STRINGS IN MAY THEN LEFT FOR A 3 MONTH TOUR AS PART OF THE EXTREME TOUR.
