They incorporate speed and New York style thrash into their music, with thrashing guitars, hooks, driven drumming and screaming fast lyrics. The band formed in summer 1984 when Tony Portaro and Tony Scaglione joined forces, recruited Tony Bono on bass and released their first CD, ”Power and Pain”, in 1985 on Roadrunner Records. The debut CD was followed up by their first live performance at Ruthie’s in Berkley, Ca with Possessed and Death Angel. Scaglione left the band for a short tour with Slayer and recommended the heavy hitting Joe Cangelosi to replace him and he became a full-time member in 1986. The band proceeded to record the follow up CD called ”Ticket To Mayhem” via Roadrunner Records in October 1987. They enlisted Glenn Hansen to take over the lead vocal position, allowing Portaro the freedom to focus strictly on guitar, and released their third album ”Insult To Injury” in 1990. The release is favoured mostly by their wide fan base and the band exploited this in the next coming years. They firstly went on extensive tours around Europe and America with many thrash artists of the time such as Artillery and Agent Steel. Aft... Read More About Whiplash Biography...
