The band was formed in the summer of 2001 in Huntington Beach, California, with The Rev (under the name Rathead) as singer, fellow Avenged Sevenfold guitarist Synyster Gates as guitarist and ex-Ballistico members: Buck Silverspur (under the name El Diablo) on bass and D-Rock (under the name Super Loop) on drums.
Since then, the band has released only one album, Unfortunate Snort on Bucktan Records, which features a crossover sound of mostly punk, ska and avant-garde. Former Avenged Sevenfold bassist Justin Meacham was also featured on keyboards and piano on the album, but left the band soon after.
On December 28th, 2009, The Rev was found dead in his Huntington Beach, CA, home of what has been suggested to be natural causes. [1] Although the band has been on hiatus ever since the release of the album and had never reunited since then, members have hinted on possible works of the band in the future; this is however unlikely to happen due to The Rev's death.
