(A.S.S.)
Fronted by vocalist Brian Thomas of legendary Detroit hard rock
horror group Halloween, A.S.S. is a five piece metal band that doesn’t
take itself too seriously. “Take three veteran musicians, add two hungry
young guns, sprinkle in heavy doses of sarcasm and attitude and crank
the volume to 12 and that’s A.S.S!” explains the band’s drummer Foot
(Motown Rage). In addition to Thomas and Foot, cousins TJ and Brandon
Richardson shred on guitars, with bassist Chris Taylor (Youthcorpse)
thumping out a growling low-end.
The band’s name demonstrates their comedic side –
A.S.S. is an acronym that stands for everything from Anonymous Super
Stars to Already Seeing Someone! Fans frequently email the band
suggestions for what each letter should stand for – leading A.S.S. to
change its meaning at every show!
“Each band member has a great sense of humor,” adds
Thomas. “Though we’re serious about our music, I think heavy doses of
irony, frustration, humor and parody are common elements in our songs.”
Working with producer/musician (Sponge) Andy Patalan at The
Loft Studios in Saline, Michigan, “E.asy P.ieces of A.S.S.” captures the
band’s bombastic, over the top lyrics, and hard driving metal. Their
debut EP features seven Herculean tracks guaranteed to get listeners’
fists pumping!
