Skrape was an American nu metal band. Formed in the late 1990s, under the name "Jojo" until later renaming to "Skrape." They would release two albums through RCA Records. Their 2001 debut ''New Killer America'' spawned two singles in "Waste" and "Isolated". Tours with the likes of Pantera, Slayer and Morbid Angel saw the album sell in excess of 100,000 copies in the US. Their second album ''Up the Dose'' was released in 2004 with little support from their label, who had recently been taken over by J Records. Beforehand, the band toured with Soil, Static-X, and Twisted Method. The album had been finished since mid-2003, and the band was set to release "Summer Song" as a single, but the album was pushed back several times, eventually being released in January. Faced with the prospect of releasing a single entitled "Summer Song" in January, they changed the name of the song to "Stand Up (Summer Song)". A couple of months after ''Up the Dose's'' release, the band was dropped from the label. Drummer Will Hunt issued a press release hinting at possible future activities with Skrape, but nothing has happened other than a reunion gig in 2005 opening for Dark New Day. They are now disbanded. In 2004, Will Hunt became a member of Dark New Day, and then later Evanescence. Guitarist Brian Milner went on to join Dope as their bassist, and singer Billy Keeton has continued to pursue his musical career with various projects, such as the short-lived Blessed in Black (featuring former members of Nothingface). Currently, Keeton does vocals for local Florida cover band Money Shot when he is not working with former members of Primer 55 in Bobby Burns (Soulfly) and Kobie Jackson. Formerly titled Paris is Burning, the three have named the project King Street. Pete Sison was also in Moneyshot with Keeton for a short period until, mega hit 90's rockers Slaughter offered Sison a position as a backup bassist for Dana Strum. Sison is also involved with Kentucky rockers Bleeding Black and Waking Season, and continues to write with Billy Keeton in a side project called HoneyHole. ==Former== * Billy Keeton – lead vocals (founding member) * Brian "Brix" Milner – guitar, keyboard, turntables, backing vocals (founding member) * Pete Sison – bass (founding member) * Will Hunt – drums, backing vocals (founding member) * Mike Lynchard – guitar (founding member) * Randy Melser – guitar 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Skrape」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
