War Babies
History:
A short lived hard rocking band from the Seattle underground. One album is all that
they recorded, filled with some awesome bluesy hard rock.
Put together by former TKO members Brad Sinsel (vocals) and
Richard Stuverud (drums, formerly of the Fastbacks, a band that also included
Guns N'Roses' Duff MacKagan). The band was rounded out by Tommy McMullin
(guitar), Guy Lacey (guitar) and Shawn Trotter (bass). The debut
album was released on Columbia records (featuring the debut single Hang Me Up
cowritten by Kiss' Paul Stanley), but despite being from Seattle,
their sound didn't fit into the grunge era that was popular at the time and the
band quickly vanished.
McMullin started the Dead Letters while Lacey and
Trotter are currently in 8 Days In Jail. Stuverud would
join and record with several Seattle bands, the most recognizable being Three Fish,
a side project featuring Pearl Jam bassist Jeff Ament.
