Artist History
It all started in 1972, when 3 guys imprisoned in
the same Catholic high school were pushed too far.
Steve, Alan & Joe grew up in different parts of
Queens, NY, during the 1960's & 70's. By the time
they were old enough to think for themselves, they
were sent to Catholic schools in hopes that they
would stop. It took Christ the King High School
to bring all the boys together....and it took a
common enemy to make a band.
The repressive school, with its ineffectual,
underpaid lay teachers and burly, violent
"religious order" members (nuns & 'brothers')
propelled the rebellious teens into the clutches
of sex...& drugs...& rock 'n' roll. CREEM magazine
became the style guide, & bands like the New York
Dolls, Blue Oyster Cult, The Dictators,
Sex Pistols, & The Ramones were the influences.
Punk rock non-stardom awaited them....
