More than 10 years of self-destruction and the PRiCKS are going stronger than ever! With a history that has seen them gig woth the likes of Total Chaos, Michale Graves & Dr. CHUDD, the Misfits (Jerry Only, Robo, & Dez Cadena), Weezer, and many, many more, the PRiCKS are always ready to play. 2007 saw them return to the studio not once, but twice! The first time was recorded and produced by the PRiCKS at Pyramid Studios in Fresno California (with much thanks to Jerry Leal). The second trip to the studio was to Burbank, Ca. with Bill Smith of Screamming Turtle Music at the helm. Also, in '07, the PRiCKS were featured on Fresno's 103.7 KRZR's "Overnight Spotlight" show. The live program featured 3 PRiCKS songs as well as an interview with the band. On November 11, the PRiCKS really scored a coup, by not only being the featured artists on Fresno's New Rock 104.1's "Home Grown Show", but approximately 30 minutes after the airing of that program, the PRiCKS, with the first 50 copies of their new self-titled c.d. in tow, opened up for Jerry Only's re-formed Misfits! What a night! Songs from the new disc include: 'Dull Boy Jack', 'Punk Rock', 'Blood', and 'Stab You in the Throat'. 2008 has certainly started out with a bang as well! The PRiCKS became the 1st band to come back for a second time on the "Home Grown Show", and 45 minutes after it aired they were the featured band on 103.7's concert calender during their "Turn That Damn Noise Down" program. That's BOTH of Fresno's rock stations in 1 NIGHT! 2008 has already seen the PRICKS play many successful gigs as well as their fan base grow! Come on out and see us live! And if you want the PRiCKS in your town, let us know!

Sounds Like: danzig, misfits, ramones, johnny cash, hank williams, the clash, dead milkmen, michale graves, motorhead, nofx, sex pistols, t.s.o.l., total chaos, black flag, bad religion, bikini kill, rancid, the clash, generation-x, etc. - all of them and more. our music is very hard and fast at times and at others it can be poppy. the lyrics are mainly dark and twisted and at times are inspired by the greatest horror films, but you'll also hear songs about angst, regret, and sorrow. it's pretty safe to say that we sound like no other band.
