The Assistant Principals

About Me

"With song titles like Little Girls Blood, Zombie Attack, and Space Monster, this entertaining and flamboyant young quartet from New Brunswick mix the horrorcore of the Misfits with the psychedelic garage-punk of Roky Erikson and I gotta tell, I was impressed. The skinny dude with the wild afro on lead vocals has a great skittery garagey voice, the guitars throw in all kinds of cool psyche-fuzz effects, and the rhythm section locks in a solid groove. Watch out for this band."
-Jim Testa of jerseybeat.com

The Pinelands' number one surfabilly-garage-rock-and-roll quartet, the Assistant Principals, have played at skating rinks, batting cages, bars, basements, backyards, pool parties, sweet sixteens, BBQs, police athletic league buildings, Rutgers University classrooms and lounges, garages, and in the back of a store that sells Warhammer stuff. They are basically ready to rock anywhere, anytime.
