Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Founding members Johnny Blackout on guitar and Pat Ratchet on drums started hashing things out about 13 years ago in upstate New York. With the right combination of desire, excitement, and alcohol, they were able to bang their heads together to formulate a sound like no other. Trying to satisfy their insatiable craving for the right chemistry, they were able to weed out the weak and fuuze Lou Miller on fretless bass and Chris Hernandez on vocals into the meld.
