MESCALERO formed in May 2005 when Greg Altuna, Peter Farmer and Jeremy Shelby got together to down a few beers, throw down some barbecue and muster up some rock at an inconspicuous house on Fry Street in Denton, TX ... a bustling college town just north of Dallas and Fort Worth. What the band quickly realized was that they had a pension for hard-driving, in-your-face Texas-style rock. Mescalero quickly set to writing and preparing their live show. With the band's collective stage experience as a catalyst, Mesacalero's live shows quickly earned them respect in the DFW area. When you mix Greg's 80's metal and southern rock influences with Jeremy's 90's punk nostalgia and Peter's metal roots you get a pounding style of rock reminiscent of C.O.C., Clutch, Fu Manchu and Kyuss mixed in with a dash of ZZ Top and Mountain for good measure. Mescalero's self-titled debut was released in September 2007.
