This San Diego five-some has been hustling and bustling since day one to deliver their
raw, explosive garage-rock. They have been compared to such driving forces as Iggy
Pop, Black Flag, The Kinks, The Seeds and New York’s The Penetrators. This band has
even created their own genre, Dance Loud; a spot on reference to those hot & steamy
dance floors that drip with the smell of sweat and satisfaction. Their songs of love,
money, and misfortune come through with a growl and a grin. Just their way of telling
the tale of those who came before. Songs like “My Turn” and “Shoot” express the
anticipation and remorse, the ups and downs of a once bitten heart.

Their upcoming full length, appropriately named Dance Loud, is a fantastic product of
the big sound they have crafted. Lead guitarist Rory Truesdale’s style of being a blues,
pshychedelic, punk vending machine keeps the sneer in singer Mike Turi’s smile. The
two met while working on songs for a local holiday compilation and Turi was more than
convinced he had found the sound to compliment his good friend Ryan Bohan’s guitar
style of shredding like a grizzly bear through a kitty. Bohan has been guilty of prizing the
singer with a nice split eye and a shiner once or twice, not like that stopped them from
killing it even harder.

The band was completed with the addition of Turi's best friend since 1992, Brian
Rathjen, who made the move out to the West Coast from their hometown of Hawthorne,
NJ to join the troop. His rapid rhythms keep on track with the bands muscle, drummer
Christopher James, another Jersey transplant. These guys intend to keep writing and
rocking for as long as Turi’s crippling spinal disease will allow him to hang from rafters
and ride his fans backs, bringing the party to your door and blowing it off its hinges.
Grab your shoes, The Old in Out are coming for you….DANCE LOUD
