The Threat

Punk Rock 'n' Roll 2002-2006

About Me

Four friends wanted to form a punk rock and roll band that embraced the spirit of the bands they idolized: The Stooges, Rocket From the Crypt, The Misfits, X, and Motorhead, among many others. Combine those influences with intense, high-energy live shows and youve got yerself a crew called The Threat.
