1988-1992

In 1988, following the breakup of Sinz, John & I decided to form a new band. After working with a few line-ups, we solidified this new group with drummer Keith Arcari and guitarist Anthony Bambino, forming Spoiled Rotten. Capitalizing on the pop metal genre that was prevalent in the late eighties, we quickly amassed a loyal following - primarily female of couse. We enjoyed modest local success and did a few showcases for major labels in 1991. Unfortunately, with the arrival of the grunge scene and the subsequent death of "pop metal", our days were numbered!
