About Me
Whut?!!!!... Angry aggressive hard hitting rock and roll from a bunch of Shady Suburban Scumbags. Established in 2002 hailing from all over CHICAGO, ILLiNOIZE! Built from the ground up from pure power, the band is made up of musicians with experience in Chicago's local Punk, Hardcore and Metal scenes. The influence from former projects like Never Generation, Inexorus, and Shred has definabely helped Whut? to stand out apart from what your seeing and hearing in the music scene today. Originality, aggressiveness and live performances that blow away many of todays touring acts, Whut? is carving their path in a new direction.
With a few name and line-up changes from the start. The original 2 members consisting of Pervert and Philly D are still in place. The addition of vocalist J.
