Nor'easter Lives
Heavy Metal and Speed from the Olde Skoole. Think "ULTIMATE REVENGE 1 &2"...
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Nor'easter was accidentaly founded in 1989 in a parking lot in Troy N.Y. outside Hudson Valley Community College. Two long lost elementary school buddies happened to be enrolled in the same calculus class nearly a decade since seeing eachother last.
J.J. Gold (Guitars) and S.D. Wrigley (Drums/Vox)were destined to record several songs relating to the Book of Revelations and the end of the world as we know it. Special session Bass performed by Packard Forbes in 1991 and 1992.
The band lasted From the summer of 1989 until January 1992 but the music remains timless.
Take a listen and decide for yourself.

Nope. Never had the chance as Nor'Easter was unable to land a dedicated bass player.
