IDK

IDK is a punk rock group from Fairview, New Jersey USA
History 1991 – 2008
IDK was formed in 1991 in Fairview, NJ. The original lineup included founding member Anthony Paladino also known as Red (Lead vocals), Adrian Spoleti (guitar), Mike Tetro (Bass), and Mike Amato (Drums). IDK had several line up changes and recorded several demos that were released on cassette tapes between the years 1991 – 1995. During this time period IDK played local Northern New Jersey venues such as The Pipeline in Newark, and Studio 1 in Newark New Jersey. With a finalized line up in 1996 that consisted of Anthony Paladino aka Red (Lead Vocals and song writer), Frank Abruzzo (Guitar), Tom Conti (Bass), and Gino Gambino (Drums), IDK released their first record as a CD on bush league records (now defunct) which was a 5 song EP titled "To Kill For The Good Of The Fight For The Right To Be Right". IDK played throughout the New York metro area over the following year. In 1997 IDK signed a 1 off record deal with Earache Records. IDKs second release was a 5 song EP titled "Taking on the Monster "on the Earache Records New Chapter series (Earache catalog MOSH172). Immediately following their 3 month tour of the U.S. in support of the Taking on the Monster, Gino Gambino was replaced by Keith Debasi on the drums and Frank Abruzzo was replaced by Scott Dorey on the guitar. IDK with the new line up signed a 1 off deal with record label The Music Cartel. In 1998 IDK released their first full length album as a CD titled "Til Death Do Us Part" on The Music Cartel (TMC005CD). IDK played the NY metro area until the year 2000 in support of the full length. IDK continued to occasionally play local bars on and off for the next 7 or 8 years in Northern New Jersey with numerous lineup changes that only saw Red and Tom Conti as the stable members throughout the changes. 10 years after the release of "Til Death Do Us Part "IDK released a 4 song EP titled "To Do What Must Be Done" in 2008. At this point the line up consisted of Red (lead vocals/song writing), Tom Conti (Bass), Fabio Amato (Drums), and Mike Nappi (Guitar).
