WHIPLASH BIOGRAPHY
There are at least 3 artists using the name "Whiplash."
1. Whiplash was an American thrash metal/speed metal band. The band was founded in 1984 in Passaic, New Jersey by the three Tonys: Tony Portaro (vocals, guitar), Tony Scaglione (drums) and Tony Bono (bass). Joe Cangelosi replaced Tony Scaglione in 1986 when he left for a small stint with Slayer. Joe Cangelosi recorded Ticket To Mayhem in 1987 with the two Tonys. In 1989 Glenn Hanson joined the band as the new singer along with Joe from the previous album. They were part of perhaps the best Whiplash album yet, titled Insult To Injury. The band split up, but reunited in 1996 for two great albums before the three Tonys recorded a final album together in 1998. Bassist Tony Bono died in 2002 after suffering a heart attack, at the age of 38.
2. As a member of the demoscene group TBR, Scandinavian musician "Whiplash" released a series of songs throughout the early-mid 1990s, and possibly beyond.
3. Whiplash released the House track "Over Me" on Strictly Rhythm-associated label Groovilicous. It was later licensed and remixed by The Sharp Boys and put out on their label Sharp Recordings.
