| In 1999, a three-piece band bent on more than sweaty kitchens and half-night stands packed their bags and left small-town Florida, headed west for San Francisco, CA. In little time, the band (consisting of Brent Travis Jones, Johnny Hildo & Paul Scavuzzo) found the perfect backdrop for their brand of rock in the bay area. After releasing a debut 7" Amped the Fuck Up, the boys decided to import more guns from said small-town Florida, and with the arrival of Christian (guitar) the band became Bottles+Skulls. Playing relentlessly up and down the west coast, the band soon hooked up with local indee label Cheetah's Records to release their first full length album, Never Kiss the Wasp which has been heralded by fans and critics as one of the most important punk records of this generation. Armed with their new album, the boys hit the road for their first U.S. tour to spread the word and soon found themselves all over the college charts. Following up the now landmark album came another 7" vinyl I Am No One, He Is No One released on TKO Records. The band has appeared on multiple compilations, and has been nominated two years in a row for "BEST PUNK BAND" by the San Francisco Weekly. With momentum building, B+S decided it was time for another full length album and headed to Seattle to record with long-time idol Jack Endino (Nirvana, The Dwarves, Murder City Devils). The newest album Born in a Black Light (Spring 2003) kills with a fever hot new sound and the band continue to ravish audiences with their jaw-dropping live show. Get it? Good. |
