Formed: Vauxhall, New Jersey, USA
Hardcore band from the central/north Jersey area of Vauxhall. formed in 1983 by drummer Greg Walker (ex-Bodies in Panic) and two members of the area's first hardcore band NFJ [New Jersey’s Finest], bassist Andy Skovran and guitarist Paul Decolator. The original lineup was completed by second guitarist Doug "Sluggo" Vizthum and vocalist Dave Scott (who was currently drummer in Adrenalin O.D.). The lineup recorded an album in 1983 which was sadly never released, and a demo in 1984, Sure We're Pleased, which was. Released, that is.
Dave left after the demo and was replaced by Keith Hartel. By 1986 Hartel assumed bass playing duties as well as singing after Skovran had departed. The lineup recorded Dangerous Choo-Choo in 1986. Where are they now?
