Petersburg, Florida, the Gotohells line up of Edward McGrady (vocals/ guitar), Timmy Lynch (bass), Hunter Oswald (drums) and Gene Boen (guitar) originated in 1993 with a reminisces of Social Distortion, Johnny Thunder and The Replacements. On top their nostalgia of country and surf from the 1960s, Stiff Pole Records first captured the bands sound on their first full-length Demolition in 1995. Following two years of touring with the likes of The Supersuckers, The Humpers and The New Bomb Turks, their second album Six Packs and Race Tracks came out in 1997. Upon the Gotohells return to Florida, the band immediately worked on their third album Burning Bridges, which was eventually released by Vagrant Records the following year. Rock N' Roll America appeared in early 2001. ~ Mike DaRonco
