Gimp



Biography : 
Gimp was a San Diego speed-punk band from 1995-98. The band was made up of 5 high school students (later to become 4). The project served as the perfect form of expression, release, and escape from high school life for both the band members and their good friends/fans who showed up at every show. The band ended up having the privilege of opening for the likes of Pulley, Lagwagon, No Use For A Name, Millencolin, Diesel Boy, and Strung Out during their super charged punk rock stint. Ironically, on their last day of school in 1998, the band played their farewell show (at Soma's main stage) as the boys parted ways for different colleges.

The Centerfolds


Biography : 
The Centerfolds were a three piece band hailing from Riverside, California. Their influences include the Descendents/All, Bad Religion, Nirvana, The Police, Face to Face, MxPx, the Beatles, Green Day and the Cure. The Centerfolds have put out one full length CD, Maybe Next Time, on Moose Records, and one seven song EP which they released on their own Ridgemont Records in 2002. They have also appeared on numerous compilations and even organized/funded two samplers of local bands that were passed out for free all over California. However, the recordings didn't do justice to The Centerfolds amazing live performances. Fans all over the west coast have seen the boys open up for bands like Blink-182, Bad Religion, Unwritten Law, Guttermouth, Home Grown, Fenix TX, Dance Hall Crashers, The Ataris and MxPx.
The Centerfolds began playing in an inadequately ventilated garage in the heart of Riverside.
Danny Black (drums), Tim Floyd (vocals, guitar) and Chris Coolwalls (vocals, bass) started the band with a pact to always be true to the spirit of music. After a steady string of local shows and parties, the band began acquiring a dedicated fan base in SoCal. Soon, they managed to perform almost monthly in northern California and Arizona. These trips soon transformed into little tours which have taken the boys through numerous states and even into Mexico. This hard work has paid off for the band. Their EP was a top seller at interpunk.com and they earned the number 1 spot on the punk charts at garageband.com.

Noggin Toboggan


Biography (source wikipedia) : 
Noggin Toboggan was a Christian punk band from Atascadero, California in the on Bettie Rocket Records.

The band formed in summer of 1995 when Mike Anderson (drums) met Jeremy Wells (bass guitar) at Atascadero Bible Church. Jeremy told Jeff (guitar) and Bryan Mclain (recorder) about Mike. Before long, Jeremy, Jeff, Bryan and Mike started playing. They recorded their first jam session at Bryan's house. Afterwards, Bryan left the band to go solo.

Jeff, Jeremy and Mike began practicing together and also became good friends in the meantime. They went to Joyfest '96 (Knotts Berry Farm) and talked to the Supertones. In 1997, Bryan re-entered the band and they recorded a 13-song EP at Moon Studios entitled Wookin Po Nub. This is a reference to a skit from the earlier days of Saturday Night Live where Eddie Murphy plays Buckwheat and tries to say "Looking For Love". They had 1,000 CDs pressed and distributed and it sold out. This album is very hard to find today.

Noggin Toboggan played many shows and they matured. When 1998 rolled around, they signed onto Bettie Rocket Records. In March 1999, they released their second album, Snapcase. The band released two more albums and then disbanded in 2002.
