Orlando, Florida, U.S (1995 – 2004)

“If you can’t fuck or fight to it, it’s no good,” proclaims Skrape drummer and band co-founder Will Hunt.

“That’s the context for us. It’s gotta have rhythm and an incredible groove you can shake your ass to.” Up the Dose has all that and more. The band’s second album for RCA finds the Orlando-based quintet in a different musical head space from when they released 2001’s brutal yet melodic New Killer America—which pummeled active rock radio in the States with the singles “Waste” and “Isolated”— and rose quickly to become the twelfth best-selling album in Japan. A festival in Japan, a gig in Korea with that country’s most famous band, Seo Taiji, and a U.S. tour with Disturbed found Skrape playing for thousands of fanatical converts. Skrape songs also found their way into video games, including Tony Hawk Pro Skater 4 and their album cover even won awards. Skrape also created their own video for “What You Say,” performance intercut with Japanamation, subsequent to the clip for first single “Waste.” Clearly a motivated bunch of musicians, Skrape also take life lessons to heart, as gleaned in the sentiments expressed on Up The Dose.

“Over the last few years there were a lot of highlights…and some lowlights,” explains Hunt. “And it all has to do with where we are at right now, which is a great place.” A 2001 tour with the Pantera, Slayer and Morbid Angel “gave us a lot of thick skin,” Hunt says of the intense, aggro crowds they faced nightly.

    Will Hunt the drummer formed a band with Clint Lowery from Sevendust and Corey Lowery from Stuck Mojo called Dark New Day. Will's on Bloodsimple's Red Harvest album which may be some of his best drumming ever and although Will didn't play on Eye Empire's album he's in that band with again Corey Lowery, BC Kochmit who was in Switched, and Donald Carpenter from Submersed (oh and Will is now the drummer for a little band called Evanescence). Brian "Brix" Milner was the bassist for Dope during their American Apathy-era, Billy Keeton had a short lived project with Tom Maxwell from Nothingface called Blessed in Black. I'm not sure who else I can name drop, Lynchard had a band called Downstem who signed a major record deal but only released one demo album, Downstem went on to become Dmanufacture which he was not a part of.
