Syringe was formed in 1996 under the band name "Acrylic" by founding
members David Lashmar (Vocals/Guitars/Keyboards) and Roger Vallve
(Bass). The duo wrote a series of ten songs then added Chris de Baseggio
(drums) to the line up (later to be replaced by Joe Scaduto).
In 1997 Syringe recorded the 11 track CD "Green Baby" at Blue Tilt
Studios in Hamilton, Canada. Extra musicians on the recording included:
Jamie Shea (Guitars), TJ Manners (Backing Vocals), and Terry Duggan
(Saxophone). The band recorded one video from this CD for the song Free
(directed by Frank Doria).
Syringe recorded three songs in 1999 for The Forgotten Rebels tribute
CD: "Fuck Me Dead", "Elvis Is Dead", and "Surfin' On Heroin".
The year 2000 saw Syringe record the E.P. "Superstar Explosion"
featuring the singles: "Superstar Explosion", "Red Melody", and "New
Oasis" at Grant Avenue Studios in Hamilton, Canada. Nara Farrell also
performed on the recording. Later that year, Syringe recorded a heavy
sounding version of Daniel Lanois' song "Whole Lotta Love To Give" for
his tribute CD. Unfortunately, the track was cut from the final
recording.
Syringe continued playing small clubs, festivals and making many
"unplugged" live radio appearances for the next two years. Late in 2002
the members of Syringe decided that the band had run it's course and
they chose to end Syringe. David, Roger, and Joe are all still good
friends and are currently involved in other music projects. |
