When Rob Zombie dismembered his band for a film career The Death Riders were born. After years of touring with Rob Zombie, Blasko (bassist) was offered the 2004 Ozzfest tour with Ozzy. Shortly thereafter, Ozzy found himself bedridden from an accident while off roading, and Blasko found himself without a tour. While talking with a close friend, Blasko heard about a band from Venice Ca. called The Death Riders. He received a demo from guitarist Jonny Coffin (owner of coffincase.com) and immediately wanted to be involved. The band went directly into the studio to record 14 songs that have been compared to early Social Distortion, Sisters of Mercy and Link Wray with a much heavier driving edge. The Death Riders self produced 2005 independent release Soundtrack for Depression has earned that coveted street buzz from the LA underground.
