Pissing Razors Biography
Heavy metallists Pissing Razors hail from El Paso, TX, and are musically comparable to local heroes Pantera, plus Skinlab and Machine Head -- in other words, angst-filled, shouted vocals are merged with meaty guitar riffs for a sound that's custom-made for the mosh pit. Singer Joe Rodriquez, bassist Rick Valles, and drummer Eddy Garcia have appeared on all three of the group's albums thus far, 1998's self-titled release, 1999's Cast Down the Plague, 2000's Fields of Disbelief, and 2001's Where We Come From, with guitarist Matt Lynch appearing on the first two albums and Cesar Soto on the last two. In February of 2001, Rodriquez left the group. ~ Greg Prato, All Music Guide
