| Formed by ex-ZZ Top roadie,Randall Baird,in the winter of 2002,Armazilla consists of four guys who share a common love of heavy music. "We wanted to make the same kind of music that we collectively were inspired and motivated by growing up."explains Randall(bass/vocals)"Classic punk,British heavy metal,and 70's "dinosaur" rock play a large role in our sound and all have influenced us both musically and in attitude." The band built their own rehearsal studio in an old Atlanta warehouse and started incessantly writing songs and rehearsing. "Soon after,"Randall continues,"we began playing shows in the Atlanta area,opening for many of the touring bands within the growing underground heavy rock circuit,honing our sound along the way." A two song demo was quickly recorded in the fall of 2003."There were no 7-figure recording budgets,no 6-figure entertainment bills,no 96 trach digital studio facilities...etc...etc",says Randall,"Just four guys who love music,adopting the do-it-yourself attitude and values of the punk movement that had so dominated at grass roots levels throughout the late 70's and early 80's." |
