So What's next door neighbor who's always pumping engine blocks in his garage in between pounding

rewired detachable speakers. FUCKIN' rules!!!

"TRAUMA are a US Heavy Metal band originally formed in the San Francisco Bay Area in 1980. After some initial teething problems with personnel recruitment, the group's first stable line-up featured Michael Overton on guitar, George 'Tiger' Lady on guitar, Dennis Shafer on drums, Cliff Burton on bass, and Donny Hillier on vocals. The band's music was compared to the likes of IRON MAIDEN and MONTROSE 'with faster tempos'. Trauma quickly became well known throughout the Bay Area and beyond, playing legendary venues like The Stone, Whisky A Go Go, and The Troubadour and recording demo tapes to try & attract label interest. In late '82 Cliff Burton departed Trauma to join METALLICA, who promptly relocated from Los Angeles to SF."
