24-7
Spyz formed in 1986, originally with Jimi Hazel (Wayne K. Richardson)
on guitar, Rick Skatore (Kenneth D. Lucas) bass, Kindu Phibes drums, and
P. Fluid (Peter Forrest) on vocals, from South Bronx, New York. The band became known for mixing soul, funk, reggae and R&B with heavy metal and hardcore punk. The
fact that they are African-Americans playing heavy metal variations has
made music critics compare them to bands like Living Color and Bad
Brains. Although 24-7 Spyz was a pioneer in the fusion of these
particular musical styles they never had much commercial success.
The band gained critical recognition for the album and landed a slot opening for Jane's Addiction on the "Ritual De Lo Habitual" tour. On the final night of the tour, vocalist P. Fluid announced onstage, to the surprise of his band members, that he was quitting the band. Johnson followed suit and the band regrouped with a new lineup early into the next year. P. Fluid and Johnson would reunite with 24-7 Spyz in 1994 for a new album and tour.
Like many 24-7 Spyz albums, the recording is out of print.
