Pissing Razors

Pissing Razors reunited: New album & live shows promised

El Paso, Texas-based groove-metal pioneers Pissing Razors have announced plans for a 2015 original-lineup reunion, complete with a new release and live dates to follow. Returning to the ranks of the group are founding members Eddy Garcia (drums), Joe Rodriguez (vocals) and Mat Lynch (guitar), who led the band to gain a loyal underground following in the mid/late '90s and early 2000s through constant touring, both stateside and abroad. Writing for the new effort is slated to begin in mid-February 2015 in West Texas, with hopes for a late summer/early fall release.

Pissing Razors' upcoming CD will follow the vibe and direction of the band's Andy Sneap-produced 1998 self-titled effort as well as 1999's acclaimed 'Cast down the Plague' album, both of which were released through Noise/Modern Music.

Pissing Razors was formed by the Garcia brothers (Eddy and Danny) in the early '90s under the moniker Back Door Cyclops, but changed its name to Pissing Razors in time for the release of the band's debut studio album, 'Psycho Punko Metal Groove', in 1996. The CD was followed by 'Pissing Razors', 'Cast down the Plague', 'Fields of Disbelief' (2000), 'Where We Come from' (2001), the live record 'Live in the Devil's Triangle' (2002) and the group's final release, 'Evolution', in 2003.
