In Elizabeth NJ 3 teens … Gavin,Reed & Marek(AL) started jamming together.We started to make music in 1990 & Willy joined on bass in 1991.Reed was the first singer but Tito replaced him as singer & Willy on bass in 1992 .Gavin & Reed are brothers plus Marek & Tito are brothers too . We have been friends since early 80s .We played birthday parties/basements/churches…anywhere anytime with anyone for anything.TORMENT became BLASTED after a couple of line up changes & Marek took over on drums .So we went back to a 3 piece like when we started .These are the videos of those bands.
Thank you to all that helped us
& anyone who is here right now.

This is Tito’s Kramer Striker 500 from the mid 80s. I found this old picture of it . In the early days he would use it for Elizabeth sux . It was @ a guitar shop in Cranford NJ early 90s , they did some work on my Warlock . We went back after he saved up for it & the rest is history.

R.I.P. Michael Gibbons 12/27/23
R.I.P. Eddie Sutton 4/19/24 .
Opened for Leeway back in 93 & saw them live hand full of times , awesome band . I’ve always been a fan of their work . Eddie was in another band-Truth & Rights had members of Leeway/Bulldoze/Agents of man/Crown of Thornz/Skarhead/One4One/Retribution/Train of Thought .If you haven’t checked out Leeway or T&R you gotta do it !The poster I got from Eddie years ago they re- released the albums on vinyl . He also signed the record for me too . Great musicians & people .
