HARD ROCK BAND
FROM
SALT LAKE CITY


In 1980, three lives were dramatically altered when they set out for college in Utah but ended up forming a rock-n-roll band. Guitarist Ric Havoc from Phoenix, Bassist Bob Noxious from Chatsworth, and Drummer Bradley Damaged from Las Vegas played a talent show on campus. They got the taste of performing rock-n-roll live and, as they say, “The rest is history.”
While the early to mid-eighties offered them the opportunity to ride the New Wave scene playing with other performers in a band called UHF, by 1987, a new iteration of the hard rock music the three had grown up listening to was sweeping across the United States. The writing was on the wall! Bob, Brad and Ric began preparing for a shift and by early 1988, DROOL was born!
With none of its members local to Utah, and the rock scene so tight knit, the challenges of “breaking” into the club scene were severe: Strike one: They were called DROOL! Strike two: They were a three-piece band! Strike three: They were playing up to 10 original songs during their sets. Strike four: They dressed like they didn’t give a rat’s ass what people thought!
Over time, Salt Lake City learned DROOL was not going away and began to embrace them. DROOL became a staple in the local Salt Lake City music scene for the next four years (1988-1992), opening for national acts playing in town and even touring themselves through the Mountain West.
With all their success, though, the reality of their situation kept them grounded regarding the possibilities of fame and fortune and, like all things, times changed. In 1992, the guys made a mutual decision to refocus their energies on family, finishing their education, and starting careers. They remained close over the next 30 years, raising their families together, and playing a handful of reunion shows and “one-offs,” including a couple of shows during the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City.
Fast forward to 2024. With family and career concerns no longer the focus, and sitting on a slew of great songs, the trio found themselves back in the studio with old recorded but unreleased material and began working to release the album of their dreams.
Turns out… IT’S A MONSTER!!!
