Artist History Anthony Truglio, the bands guitarist, grew up playing classic rock and building his chops before starting a band called Liege Lord. He recorded three albums for Metal Blade Records and toured extensively throughout the country. in 1989, Anthony met up with Trond Fletcher. Trond was playing in a ska band called The New York Citizens. Together they took their experience on the road and began to blaze trails with their own venues. Soon they met blues singer Cryin' Tim Lyons at a New York club. Tim's strong, down and dirty, raw vocals ripped through the music and caught their attention. The three began work to pursue their own musical visions. After some time with revolving drummers James 'Mummyhead' Drufovka came aboard. James had been recording, playing and touring in New York based hardcore bands, Pry and Burn, but was looking for something new and different. He found Charlie Nice.
