Haji's Kitchen

Haji's Kitchen, a hard-rocking ensemble, came together in Texas during 1993. Their initial album arrived in 1995 featuring vocalist Eddie Ellis alongside guitarists Eddie Head and Brett Stine, bassist Derek Blakely, and drummer Rob Stankiewicz, drawing positive critical notices that drew parallels to Pantera and Alice in Chains. Preparation for the follow-up album Suckerpunch got underway in the first months of 2002, by which point the lineup had contracted to four members under the leadership of singer Vince Mullins.
