The Irritations first surfaced in Charlotte North Carolina in late 1992. The Band featured  Tom Nalley singer/guitar and song writer, Rick Surley on drums and Jeremy  from Mad brother Ward and the sreaming street trash band on bass...Soon Chris Wilson  would be his replacment Blending sixties and seventies punk with a hint of blues . They soon developed a following and released several singles, before embarking on a two-year tour of the eastern seaboard. After the tour, the band broke up and founder/ singer Tom Nalley migrated  to southern California. In summer of 1998, Nalley, along with new bassist Scott Free, reformed The Irritations, and began playing local clubs and bars. The band went through many changes before finding the drummer Skinny Rialto aka Chuck Paterson. Together they developed a reputation for hard driving, over the top music and apparently, out-of-control live performances. In 2001 they went into the studio and recorded the band's first full length album, PsychoBoogie Vol.1. In 2002 the line-up changed again, when they decided to add rhythm guitarist Greg Talley. Soon after that, Skinny Rialto left the band, and Ryan Taverney (drums) joined. In  2004 the line-up changed once again when, bassist Scott Free left the band. Jonas and Bert filled in; Many great shows were played.........And some of you were there. In Oct. 2004 Scott Free came back briefly and played The Hell Down Show Down in Lancater, Ca.....
