History

The band formed in the mid-1980s, originally as Townhouse 3. After coming to the attention of hip hop Hank Shocklee, member of the Bomb Squad, which produced early Public Enemy albums, they chose the name Son of Bazerk. The group released a debut album in 1991 called Bazerk, Bazerk, Bazerk, credited to Son of Bazerk featuring No Self Control and the Band, which was fully produced by the Bomb Squad. The album was critically acclaimed, but was far from a huge commercial success.

That comeback was praised by some media, such as The Village Voice and Time Out They are currently working on another album also produced by DJ Johnny "Juice" Rosado.

Half Pint has become a teacher and administrator at Roosevelt High School, Roosevelt, Long Island.
