We're NJ Drunk Rock. Basically, the Professor had been making half-assed attempts to get a band off the ground for years before a chance encounter with Fat Joe at a Skels show in 2003, who had mentioned he played guitar. The two then continued to make half-assed attempts to find a bassist and drummer with the Professor restringing Joe's old bass left-handed with the intent of playing bass and singing at the same time even though he could do neither particularly well. But he was determined.or at least as determined as a lazy bastard could be. Enter Eddie Two-Strings, whom the Professor had known for years and whose original meeting has been lost in the mists of time. During a conversation on this very site, the Professor casually mentioned how his seemingly endless (read: lazy) search for the rhythmn section had been fruitless. Eddie Two-Strings informed the Professor that that he was taking up the bass again and knew an excellent drummer by the name of DavenJen who, as it turned out, is indeed an exceptional drummer. The Professor told Fat Joe about this fortunate turn of events and there was much rejoicing and writing of songs. In September of 2004, the first practice commenced and the first show was January 12, 2005.

Since then, we have been fortunate enough to share the stage with the likes of Murphy's Law, the Adicts, the Business, Iron Cross, Darkbuster, Street Dogs, Niblick Henbane, the Wretched Ones, Hub City Stompers, Steel Toe Solution, the Skels, Headwound, Broken Heroes, Urban Riot, Step2Far, and Awkward Thought among others. We have played all over NJ, CBGBs, Boston, Pittsburgh, Delaware, and the East Coast Of OI 2006 and 2007, in Allentown PA. To Be Continued.
