Brought together by a high school talent show, Hit By a Bus originally started off as a “shed band,” using a karaoke machine as a PA, a shovel stuck in the dirt floor for a microphone stand, and extension cords lining the dirt floor, bringing forth power. Two albums and many miles of touring later, the band has since emerged onto the indie music scene with a sweet fury.

In 2003, the band released their first album, Outside the Van Door, after adding Gio whose intoxicating voice gives the band a bold and alluring sound. This first album included tracks like “Speed Limit 42,” their first song ever written. At the end of 2004, the band welcomed N8 on bass and added Joe Christ as a second guitarist.

In 2006, Hit By a Bus released their currently promoted album “Detonator” - a genre-smasher featuring equal-parts male and female vocals. Recorded at Radiostar Studios with Sylvia Massy (Tool, System of a Down) and Rich Veltrop (Slayer, Red Hot Chili Peppers), Detonator gives us a promising glimpse into the next generation of rock.
