Hailing from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Baghead is said to be "metal so good its scary". Since forming in 2001 they have dominated the underground scene with their unique brand of metal precision. Fusing influence from metal greats such as Pantera, Slayer, Opeth, Nevermore, Meshuggah, and Death with a combination of classical, funk, and blues they have created a sound all their own.

DaVe Palmer (lead guitar/vox), Josh Palmer (Drums), Mike Vaday (rhythm guitar/vox), and Tim Mitelman (Bass) make up the neck-wrecking quartet.

After releasing their debut album "The New Elite" (2003) they played from Worcester, MA to Milwaukee, WI. Playing upwards of ninety shows by the end of 2004 they had established a solid following in their regional area of Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Ohio before heading back into the studio. In the summer/fall of 2005, Baghead delivered their sophomore release "Betrayal" and headed back into the touring circuit. In 2006 alone, they have already performed over 120 shows in 8 states.
