Slo-Poke ruined my life!!!

About Me

Six years ago three wasteoids who had a penchant for classic-rock, hair metal and punk decided to form a band out of their frustration with the music scene. Tired of watching bands with ten drummers, clown masks and metal laced with DJ’S, they sought out to put rock back into roll, heavy back into metal and the boogie back into woogie. Armed with amps and riffs they also sought to bring back the glory days of "The Godfather" Joe Anthony and 99.5 KISS before the Lincoln Parks’, Stainds’ and the Creeds’of the world ruined it. Now our city is once again under siege by emo-rock bands who complain about everything, yet who are signed onto labels that provide them with millions each year. And punk music that has completed it’s transformation from an art that offended to the consciousness of mainstream America via Hot Topic and TRL. We can no longer stand back as "Mall Metal" continues to make a mockery of the music we have all grown to love and respect. Mullets, Fist-bangers and Burnouts of the World Unite!!! Hold your lighters high and chant the words of the famous philosopher Dee Snider,"We aren’t gonna take it anymore!!!" Six years going on seven. Still here til the bitter end...Til they pry the guitars from our cold, dead hands...
