The band name came about when original bassist Steve Miller thought of the name for his new band in 1993.

We play live locally and regionally almost every weekend. We love it, it's always fun to play music with each other. We've had the pleasure of being the opening acts for Stephen Piercy of Ratt, Artimus Pyle, Eddie Money, Cheap Trick, and Alice Cooper.

Having music readily available on the internet is mind boggling. Twenty years ago, to get music heard, you had to knock on alot of doors and beg to be heard..now it's available worldwide in an instant!

Absolutley.

The band was formed in 1993 in Topeka, Kansas. Members have come and gone over the last 14 years but the band is known for it's high energy rock and thunderous sound. In 2003 the band released it's first CD, "Dressed For Success". In 2004 "No Quarter No Mercy" was released, along with a companion DVD. In September 2006 the third Backlash CD "Tattooed Nation" was released and is the current material we are playing live. All the CD's also had a companion DVD release as well, including 3 live performances and a behind the scenes documentary. Backlash released their 4th cd "BACKLASH" in May of 2009 after two years of recording during triumph and tragedy, and is the bands strongest collection of original music to date.

The musicical influences run the entire spectrum of music, but the one's we've been compared to the most are Alice Cooper, Pink Floyd, Marillion, The Who, AC/DC, The Ramones, The Kinks, Spinal Tap.

Anywhere that will accept us!

We use Yamaha, Shure, Fender, ESP, Epiphone, Gibson, Tama, Paiste, Peavey, Crate, AC, SoundTech, Zoom, Hartke..we have just about everything almost known to man..

Most of the time we perform without a set list so the music and the energy is raw and fresh. We're not afraid to be human and fail at times on stage, but most importantly we love to have fun playing music with each other. Check out the music and you'll see what we mean!
