The Expendables

Santa Cruz, California-based outfit the Expendables play reggae, ska, pop, punk, and surf-influenced rock tailor-made for sun-baked good times. Formed in 1997, the quartet--Geoff Weers on guitar and vocals, Raul Bianchi on lead guitar, Ryan Demars on bass, and Adam Patterson on drums and vocals--self-released two albums in 2006, and then released GETTING’ FILTHY on Pony Canyon. After signing to Stoopid Records (owned by their contemporaries and tourmates Slightly Stoopid), the Expendables came out with their self-titled fourth album in 2007. The Expendables are kin to other West Coast reggae-inspired jam bands such as Dance Hall Crashers, Reel Big Fish, and Pepper. ~ Rovi
