About Me

AFTER A BREIF HIATUS, POVERTY IS LOOKING TO OPEN FOR OUR LONG TIME HEROS POISON IDEA IN OREGON. THANKS TO OUR ORINIGAL SINGER WILLIE NAJERA. MORE INFO WILL POSTED POSTED SOON. WE'RE BACK YOU SICK FUCKS!!!!!!!!!BIO:Poverty EST:1989 by four individuals in the San Francisco Bay Area. Scott Dodge (guitar), Lou Gilberto (bass), and two former members of Infernal Forces. After a couple of demo tapes, and several successful shows at numerous bay area locations, Poverty changed it's line-up in 1991 with the addition of drummer Buddy Mills formerly of Insanity. The band now consisted of Scott, Lou and Bud which stills holds today. With the addition of Bud Mills to the act, the entire band focused on a faster attack which was the goal from the start. After playing years of shows and parties, Poverty finally released an 8 song demo entitled "Poverty Sucks" in 1998. After it's release, the band was put on hold for a few years only to eventually have the entire line up of Poverty join the band Insanity. After recording an impressive album with the group, Insanity, once again was brought to a halt. So... 3/4 of the band left to reform "Poverty" in 2001. With the addition of Sean Riggen on vocals and the release of the Global Destruction EP, Poverty will be performing at various clubs and venues.

Member Since: 4/14/2005
Band Members: Sean Riggen - Scott Dodge - Lou Gilberto - Buddy Mills
Influences: POVERTY features three former members of Insanity, namely Scott Dodge (guitars), Bud Mills (drums), and Lou Gilberto (bass / backing vocals). The line-up is completed by Sean Riggen (vocals). And guess what they do.. They play brutal, straightforward oldschool Death / Thrash Metal!!! No mercy! Unrelentless oldschool riffing and drumming plus the duelling vocals of Sean (screaming) and Lou (growling) make all five songs a trip to the late 80´s / early 90´s for every oldschool maniac. No experiments but pure oldschool aggression! Maybe I´m too enthusiastic about this one and mentioned oldschool too many times but POVERTY kick ass!!! The sound could be more powerful but the raw and dirty atmosphere makes the songs even more oldschool (sorry!) and credible. I hope that POVERTY will succeed in delivering many albums of this songwriting quality to satisfy our oldschool (sorry, last time!) needs as soon as possible!-Voices From The Darkside Review
