WHYSALL LANE BEGAN IN THE LATE '90S AS A SOLO PROJECT FOR SINGER AND GUITARIST RICHARD BALUYUT. WHILE TAKING A BREAK FROM HIS DUTIES AS SONGWRITER AND FRONTMAN FOR NYC INDIE-ROCK TITANS VERSUS, BALUYUT BEGAN PERFORMING STRIPPED-DOWN SETS OF HIS 'OTHER' ORIGINALS (AND THE ODD DEPECHE MODE COVER). HE DUBBED THE NEW ACT WHYSALL LANE AFTER A NEIGHBORHOOD STREET IN HIS HOMETOWN OF DETROIT. AFTER MOVING TO SAN FRANCISCO IN 2001, BALUYUT HOOKED UP WITH EX-JAWBREAKER DRUMMER ADAM PFAHLER AND SPCA CAT BEHAVIORIST MIKEL DELGADO (WUSSUM*POW, THE LITTLE DEATHS, THE CINNAMON IMPERIALS). THE THREE DECIDED TO REVIVE BALUYUT'S SOLO MATERIAL IN A FULL-ON BAND SETTING. THE BAND HEADED INTO THE STUDIO TO HAMMER OUT THEIR SET. THEY COULDN'T HAVE BEEN HAPPIER WITH THE RESULT: INDIE-ROCK FOR PEOPLE WHO HATE INDIE-ROCK. FOR FANS OF LATTER JAWBREAKER / VERSUS.
