Built around the core of guitarist, singer, and songwriter Henry Font and bassist/background vocalist Val Ium, New York's Pist-On mixes extremely heavy, mid-paced guitar riffs with occasional vocal harmonies. Lead guitarist Paul Poulos and drummer Danny Jam Kavadlo both left soon after the release of the band's 1996 debut, Number One, which went largely unnoticed in America but garnered great reviews from the British press. Pist-On returned three years later with 1999's Sell Out, featuring new guitarist Burton Gans and drummer Jeff McManus. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia
