The comedian's hard rock project formed in 2009, releasing three albums of atmospheric alternative metal.
For the contrast between Cook's comedy and this project, 'Just Wanna Dance' and 'Parking Structure' frame it well, one's melodic, the other's heavier, but both sound like a band that means it.
The band's existence itself was a statement, a comedian known for packed arenas forming a serious rock group in 2009. Songs like 'Just Wanna Dance' show their mix of hard rock and melodic touches, creating atmospheric territory that feels miles from Cook's comedy routines. There was real skepticism about the project, plus legal issues over the name, which gives their three albums an underdog quality.
The band formed in 2009 with Cook on vocals, Brian Vodinh on guitar, Chris Van Arsdale on bass, and George Bailey on drums. They released 'Retaliation' in 2012, then 'Haunted' in 2016 and 'Abducted' in 2018. Their sound stayed in that hard rock and alternative metal space with introspective touches across those records.
