History:
The Graveyard Train barely got rolling along the tracks in the early 90's with a caboose
full of bluesy hard rockers in the same vein as the London Quireboys and
Black Crowes.
Frank Scimeca (bass) and Robert Iezzi (drums) formed the band
from the ashes of Angora, which had also included John Corabi and had a
song featured on KNAC's The Son Of Pure Rock compilation album. They recruited
relatively unknown Los Angeles residents Todd Griffin (vocals) and Bruce
Draper (guitar).
They quickly got signed to Geffen, and with the production of Tom Werman,
their self-titled debut was released. The two singles, "Down To The Wire" and "The
Reason (I Love You)", failed to generate any commercial interest in the band. Despite a
commendable album, The Graveyard Train was promptly put to rest.
Draper would resurface three years later for the horrible return
of Wildside, but the whereabouts of the other members remain a mystery.
