There are two bands called The Violence, one is a rock band. The other The Violence is a Punk Rock group from Bomb City, Oklahoma (otherwise known as Oklahoma City) Started by Ryan Violence, they started playing shows late in the summer of '04. The original line up was, Tyler NdN (vocals) Tanner Beers (guitar and vocals) Ryan Violence (drums) and Vinton Von Bayne aka Jeff Flesheater (bass). Soon after forming we recorded a six song E.P. known as the "Skull & Backbones E.P." and had an old friend rejoin the band and start playing shows, Chris Witt was now rippin lead guitar. Shows came and went, many of which were played with The Misled. After playing what seemed like an infinite amount of shows with them, we decided it was time to release a split. And thus, The "Whipped and Split E.P." was born, featuring 4 songs from each band It seemed The Violence's momentum was definitely building, recording a full length album and yet another E.P. and playing with some pretty big bands such as, The Nekromantics, Headnoise, and The Scarred, but due to life getting in the way of things, The Violence had to take a break and take care of the more important things first. After a year or so hiatus, we're back with Jeff on guitar and vocals, presenting Zach on bass and backing up Jeff and Ryan beating the drums like a red-headed stepchild. <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/The+Violence">Read more on Last.fm</a>.
