............................................... WE STARTED OUT in RANDOLPH, MA. in the early 90's in a dingy basement. A garage band consisting of three high school buddies; C. Martin on guitar, Rup on bass, and Pittsy on drums/vocals. We agreed from the get go, the songs had to be straight forward or not at all. We played to anyone that would listen. We played any party, basement, or living room that would take us. IN THE LATE 90's through 2006 the band began to diversify and wander around the Boston music scene. We started moonlighting in a bunch of local rock acts (to many to mention). During this time, Pittsy and Rup stumbled across a hard hitting, all or nothing, tomahawking, tattooed drummer. Enter Dave Sexton aka "savage". His hard hitting style fit right into Pittsy and Rup's slowly developing racket. Sexton added that element of power that we were searching for. At this point we were almost there, but not quite yet. There was still one crucial element missing. Re-enter, once again, longtime friend guitarist C. Martin. In 2006 after just a handful of practices we put together a half dozen songs. With Martin in the mix, the circle was complete and in 2007 THE TAKE-BACK was born. We have NO gimmicks. Weathering the storm of trends for well over a decade, we've seen them all come and go. Friends for over twenty years and now we're back at full strength spreading the good word.
