Although it is now a mere part of my past, Alloy Jacks continues
to mean quite a bit to me. I began playing guitar when I was thirteen
years old and could not wait to start playing in a punk rock band. Forming
and keeping a band was always difficult for me for a variety of reasons.
Ultimately, we never really went anywhere, but I did learn a lot. The
lineups were many, although Tony Mainiero and I were the constant.
If you have any media related to Alloy Jacks, I would love
to have it on the website.
