The Drills

about

THE DRILLS are a Los Angeles based trio who are phil, j-bo and dan. phil the drill (guitar and throat) writes the songs which are inspired by cool things that isky and scott say at work and bounces them off of... j-bo drill a.k.a. the dangler (drums) who offers arrangement ideas along with the odd chord change. lieutenant dan drill plays (bass) because he kicks ass and can sing. At a time where nothing is seemingly original in music, THE DRILLS emerge as a refreshing change to the cluster of bubblegum punk, rap rock and i'm-so-depressed-i-can-hardly-spend-my-money bands. THE DRILLS sound may not be groundbreaking, but damn, it sure is a lot of fun to RAAWWkKK!!! While the songs are hooky & strong enough to be performed acoustically, THE DRILLS prefer an approach that you can smash balls to: loud, live, abrasive, in-your-face rock n' roll!! In 2003, THE DRILLS started to cause a stir in Hollywood, with their brand of punk mixed with classic and modern rock with guitar virtuosic undertones. Phil X was at the helm as the lead vocalist and guitar player. Daniel Spree on bass and backing vocals and Jeremy Spencer (FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH) completed the power trio. They remained quite underground and released their first EP, "Kick Your Ass In 17 Minutes", in 2009. Jeremy had left to start FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH by this time, so the constant rotation of drummers began. Also in that time period, Phil was becoming a groundbreaking YouTube sensation on a video channel
