Jacuzzi fiend is a melodic punk rock band that began as the collaboration of musicians Ryan Valdesuso and Chance Raspberry, formerly known as Overbored. During the autumn of 1998, the two guitarists wrote and composed several movements of music with bassist, Sean Hunter, while diligently searching for a percussionist. After a few try-outs, they combined forces with an energetic young lad named Nick Barber and Jacuzzi Fiend was born. Over the years, Jacuzzi Fiend spent many a late night fine-tuning their sound. After starting out as a more punk-based band like their influences Strung Out and NOFX, they gradually became a mixture of part punk, part metal, part emo, ALL melodic! In their final months together, they referred to themselves as the creators of "Speed Emo." The members of Jacuzzi Fiend parted ways in early 2002. Leaving behind two CDs and a rare EP cassette entitled, "Good Enough," they each ventured off in search of their place in the world. With college, careers, and relationships all lying ahead, the band disappeared from the public eye, but not from the hearts and minds of those they had touched. Though our musical union is no more, we still get together from time to time for occasional jam sessions, or to reminisce about the good ol' days and just hang out. Read more on Last.fm.
