W.A.S.P. is an American heavy metal band formed in 1982. They emerged from the same Los Angeles scene that spawned Mötley Crüe, Ratt, Quiet Riot and others.

The band's popularity peaked in the 1980s, yet they continue to record and tour, making them one of the most enduring of the West Coast heavy metal bands. W.A.S.P. gained notoriety for their shock rock themed image, lyrics and live performances. They have sold over 12 million albums.

The band were a prominent target in the mid-1980s of the Parents Music Resource Center (PMRC) led by Tipper Gore, wife of then-Senator Al Gore (D-TN), an organization that pushed for warning labels on recorded music. The band immortalized its fight with the PMRC on the song "Harder, Faster" from their 1987 live album, Live...In the Raw.

Blackie Lawless remains the only member from the original line-up. They released their most recent album in October 2009

With

SKITZO: The ultimate power trio, a monster of a band, crushing venues like the three headed dragon Ghiadra. Attitude is the core of Skitzo's assaulting brand of new and old school heavy metal. The band's live show finale is like nothing you have ever witnessed. They're the first in history to host a true Vomitorium on stage, this amazing feature has been bolstered by top TV shows like ""The Jerry Springer Show", thus leaving Jerry breathless in his quote "This is as strange as we've ever seen", and Skitzo has made several guest appearances every year, increased limelights followed such as ""Ripley's Believe It Or Not", "Stern", and interviews with Spin and The Gavin Report. Skitzo's thoroughly chaotic concerts surely complement the band's prevalent thunderous anthems, while their music has uniquely arranged hard driving hits. The lyrics are startling at times, just to sum up Skitzo, take "KISS", "Slayer" and the film shocker "The Exorcist", mutate it into a savagely intense, one of a kind heavy metal rock show.
