Spineshank Formed in 1996 in Los Angeles, Spineshank exploded onto the late 90's Metal scene with their 1998 Roadrunner debut Strictly Diesel, and quickly built a rabid underground following, hitting the road alongside current and future luminaries like Sepultura, System of A Down, Fear Factory, Biohazrd, and Static-X. Known for their fusion of industrial metal, alternative metal, and nu-metal elements, Spineshank gained prominence in the late 1990s and early 2000s as part of the emerging wave of heavy music influenced by electronic textures and aggressive rhythms. Known for their emotionally charged compositions and intense live performances, Spineshank left a lasting impact on the metal scene, blending heavy riffs, electronic undertones, and introspective lyrics to craft a distinctive sound that has resonated with fans worldwide for over 30 years. Their sophomore effort, 2000's The Height of Callousness (2000), Produced by Garth Richardson (Rage Against The Machine, Mudvayne) marked a turning point into a more polished and aggressive sound, leading to critical acclaim and wider exposure, with tracks like "Synthetic" and "New Disease," quickly turning the band into a staple of the nu-metal era. Spineshank joined the ranks of Ozzfest 2001 and toured alongside a who's who of modern Metal greats including Slipknot, Linkin Park, Type O Negative, Mudvayne, and more. In 2003, Spineshank released Self-Destructive Pattern, which included the Grammy-nominated single "Smothered." Despite their success, internal tensions led to the departure of vocalist Jonny Santos in 2004, who formed SILENT CIVILIAN, and the band went on hiatus shortly after. Santos eventually returned, and Spineshank reunited in 2008, releasing their fourth and final album, Anger Denial Acceptance, in 2012. In 2023 Santos and Decker announced the forming of a new project, The Less Dead, which led to further speculation about the future of Spineshank. Now in 2025, Hell has indeed frozen over, as Spineshank returns with a revamped lineup featuring original members Jonny Santos, Rob Garcia, and Tommy Decker, along with new recruits Tommy Decker, Jr. (Guitar) and Jason Hager (ex-Chimaira - Guitar) to celebrate the 25th anniversary of their landmark release The Height of Callousness. “We are beyond excited to be able to celebrate 25 years of The Height of Callousness. This is the record that defined us as a band and changed our lives. We can’t wait to play all of these songs and share the memories with all of you who lived it with us.”-Tommy Decker "We are extremely excited to celebrate the return of SpineShank for the 25th anniversary of The Height of Callousness tour, and get to share this milestone with the people who were there back then, and the new fans that never got the chance to see us play. Truly an honor!!! "–Jonny Santos “It’s amazing that 25 years later people still react to The Height of Callousness the way they do. We’re excitedto get out and play these songs again, see old friends, and throw down for all the new fans who never got tosee Spineshank the first time around!”–Rob Garcia Primer 55 is a nü-metal/rap-metal outfit formed in 1997 by guitarist Bobby Burns and rapper/singer Jason “J-Sin” Luttrell. They made their major-label debut with *Introduction to Mayhem* in January 2000, which remains a touchstone for their fanbase. Tragically, original frontman J-Sin passed away on August 10, 2018, after a long battle with health issues tied to Hepatitis C. His voice and spirit are still deeply revered by the band and fans. When the reunited band announced their *Introduction to Mayhem* 25th-anniversary shows, they framed those upcoming performances as a celebration of his legacy. In late 2024, Bobby Burns revealed he had been battling liver issues. Despite the severity of the condition, Burns has publicly expressed determination and resilience, crediting his recovery progress with rallying support from friends, family, and fans. His health battle has become part of the band’s narrative of resurgence, and his ability to press onward is seen as a testament to his grit. Now reunited as of 2025, Primer 55—with Donny “The DRP” Polinske on vocals, Burns on guitar, Joshua Toomey on bass, and Preston Nash on drums—is hitting the road this October to honor *Introduction to Mayhem*’s 25th anniversary. The tour isn’t just a nostalgic revisit—it’s a bold statement that, despite loss and adversity, the spirit of Primer 55 endures. Full bar available during events.
