Drill Team

Drill Team is a post-grunge alternative band formed in Los Angeles in the mid-'90s by San Jose natives Michael Long (vocals, guitar) and Jeff Watson (bass) upon the latter's leaving Lutefisk. They were joined by drummer Apollo Strange and, at first, guitarist Chris Etzler; Etzler left in 1995 and was replaced by Timothy LaRue. Drill Team signed with Reprise and released a self-titled debut EP in late 1996; it was followed in 1998 by their first full-length album, Hope and Dream Explosion, which was recorded with noted producers Clive Langer and Alan Winstanley.
