hair story
The band was formed by lead vocalist Matt Kramer and guitarist Jason Bieler along with bassist Sean Puckett and drummer Phil Varone. They gained a following on the local club scene and generated enough of a buzz to be signed to Third Stone Records in 1990. During the recording of their first album Puckett left and was replaced by Tom DeFile. Their self-titled album was released in 1991, and they toured at length, but the album only made a marginal national showing.
