Artist History When Mercury Bath, Red Vianna and Insult II Injury were playing shows together back in 1996 and 97' they thought it might be fun to jam out together. I II I's drummer, MB's vocalist, guitarist and bassist, and RV's guitarist hooked up, wrote some sick, heavy stuff... and slapped the name BrainStem on it. 2 demos followed; the 2nd one recorded in March, 2002 is unreleased... (look for a possible release of that demo, and new stuff... coming soon)...
