Skarhead

Skarhead formed a seven-piece ensemble in 1995 to fuse metal, hip-hop, and punk. Lord Ezec, Lou Dibella, and Boston Mike shared vocal duties, while Mitts and White Owl handled guitar, Little Tony played bass, and Goat sat behind the drums; several participants had previously performed with the New York hardcore band Crown of Thorns. The Queens, NY natives issued their first EP, Drugs, Money and Sex, on their own in 1997 and soon afterward signed with Victory Records. The next year they delivered their initial full-length album, Kings at Crime.
