Blue collar beer metal! That’s how the members of the band Bullistic describe their brand of metal. Formed in 2001 and based out of Richmond, VA., the band is comprised of Ed Savoy (guitar), John Davis (bass & vocals), Jon Ward (drums) & former Alabama Thunderpussy singer Johnny Throckmorton (vocals). The band has gone through several major changes over the years in an effort to lock in that magical combination of musicians. The original line up released two albums entitled "Eye for an Eye" (2001) and "Afterglow" (2003) and firmly established Bullistic in the VA music scene. After a drummer and singer change, 2005's "Chronicles of Love and Hate" was released and received instant critical acclaim and charted in the top 10 on the CMJ Loud Rock charts. The band started touring the East Coast and Ohio Valley region and gained some radio & video airplay. 2007's "Ride the Line" was released in August and Bullistic continued concentrating on touring the East Coast/Mid-Atlantic Region. The band has toured and played along side of such bands as Black Sabbath (w/Dio), Alice Cooper, Queensryche, Shadows Fall, Metal Church, Drowning Pool, Dark New Day, Nonpoint, Ankla, Silent Civilian, Godhead, Bubblefoot from Guns & Roses, The Burning Brides, Evans Blue, WASP, House of Lords, LA Guns, MOD, Seven Witches, Chris Caffery, Diecast, Bulletboys, Red Right Hand, King's X, Mardo, Adema, Revelation Theory, Alston, Five Bolt Main, Dry Kill Logic, Brand New Sin, Flaw, Alston, Artimus Pyledriver, Fireball Ministry, Nashville Pussy, Marc Rizzo of Soul Fly, Sanctity, Meliah Rage and many more.
2008 promises to be not just a new chapter for the band, with the addition of lead singer Johnny Throckmorton & drummer Jon Ward, but a big step forward. The band is writing a new album and expect to release it this summer. Stay tuned, it's about to turn up to eleven! |
