Abusing Troy

Michigan, United States (1997-2005) From Michigan, Acoustic & Electric guitars blending great grooves, Huge Drums & a Bass that thumps your chest. Guinevere was recorded in the fall of 1998.

One of a Kind was recorded in the winter of 2002. Recorded by the final members; Troy, Mike, Nathan and Jason. Chosen as one of Michigans best unsigned bands. Acoustic & Electric guitars blending great grooves, Huge Drums & a Bass that thumps your chest.
The band would love to know what you think, please check out the clips. They are starting to get a little national airplay with "mysterious" & "No One Told Me" The loyal fans say listen to "Hott Karl" or "Crunchy" but pick your own favorite. They hope for a big underground push.

Both albums were recorded at Full Range Sound in Saint Joseph, Michigan. Produced by Abusing Troy and Brian Bavido and engineered by Tom Cole.
