Blue collar beer metal! That is how the members of the band Bullistic describe their brand of metal. Formed in 2001 and based out of Richmond, VA., the core of the band consists of Johnny Throckmorton formally of Alabama Thunderpussy (vocals), Ed Savoy (guitar), John Davis (bass) and Jon Ward (drums). The band has gone through several major changes over the years in an effort to lock in that magical combination of musicians and the search for the right front man continues. The original line up released two albums entitled Eye for an Eye (2001) and Afterglow (2003) and firmly established Bullistic in the VA music scene. After a drummer and singer change in 2005 Chronicles of Love and Hate was released and received instant critical acclaim and charted in the top 10 on the CMJ Loud Rock charts. The band started touring the East Coast and Ohio Valley region and gained some radio and video airplay. In 2007 Ride the Line was released in August and Bullistic continued concentrating on touring the East Coast/Mid-Atlantic Region. The band has toured and played along side of such bands as Disturbed, Black Sabbath (w/Dio), Alice Cooper, Queensryche, Shadows Fall, Metal Church, Drowning Pool, Dark New Day, Nonpoint, Ankla, Silent Civilian, Godhead, Hurt, Art of Dying, Bubblefoot from Guns and Roses, The Burning Brides, Evans Blue, WASP, House of Lords, LA Guns, MOD, Seven Witches, Chris Caffery, Diecast, Bulletboys, Red Right Hand, King's X, Mardo, Adema, Revelation Theory, Alston, Five Bolt Main, Dry Kill Logic, Brand New Sin, Flaw, Artimus Pyledriver, Fireball Ministry, Nashville Pussy, Marc Rizzo of Soul Fly, Sanctity, Meliah Rage and many more.
2008 promises to be a new chapter for the band. Bullistic is writing a new album to be release in the fall of 2008 and is talking with new record labels. The band is teaming up with Brand New Sin this fall for some East Coast shows that will blow people away. Stay tuned, it's about to be turned up to eleven!
