Pirate Radio was formed in the Summer of 2004, by Josha Chapman, Jameson, and Teren. We came up with the name while listening to the Clash song, "Capital Radio." Taylor Cowman soon joined as a drummer. We recorded a two-song demo, called simply, "Demo." For a while Teren, Josha, and Jay switched off on vocals until we met a man named John Cain. He became our vocalist in 2005.
Josha Chapman left the band a few shows later, to pursue a career in adult entertainment. The band recruited local wildebeast Dustin Bruce to replace him. Dustin played with us for a while, and we recorded another demo called "The Bilgewater Demos." Dustin later quit after a New Year's Eve show in 2006/2007. After that, Teren switched from bass to guitar, and we got "Pistol" Pete Gibbs (from YUK) on bass.
Petey was with us for a while. We recorded an album called "Living Dreams Sent to Hell." Pete's job prevented him from going on tour, so Sean Schock (Happy Bastards, Detonators, Clawhammer) filled in on bass on our short-lived tour. After some complications, Pete and the band parted ways, and Sean became our bassist.
Sean played several shows with us, and had to part ways with the band as well. Lenny Lucious (Dissentary) joined as uor new bassist. We recorded some new songs with Lenny, and combined them with our "Living Dreams" songs to make a 17-track album called "Wreck 'em All." We play shows pretty regularly!
