Drop Kick Jesus was Brian Paone’s musical vision to combine heavy hardcore songs, with keyboards and samples. A new style that was much more intense than anything he wrote in Yellow #1. Their debut album, Splatterguts, was released in 1998.
Promoting the album, Drop Kick Jesus toured throughout MA, NH, & NY. Drop Kick Jesus played to a sold-out crowd at New York City's famous CBGB's club in December 1999.
After spending three years touring and promoting Splatterguts, Drop Kick Jesus released their second album, Depress the Heart, in 2000, produced by Grammy Award winner, Neil Kernon.
The album was a growth from Splatterguts, both musically and sonically. The attitude of the songs on Depress the Heart moved away from the typical hardcore style and extended further into the electro-metal genre. Drop Kick Jesus toured extensively on the new album throughout MA, NH, NY, VT, ME, RI, & PA.
During their career, they opened for bands such as Faith No More, Limp Bizkit, Unearth, Vision of Disorder, Pro-Pain, Will Haven, Crowbar, Bile, Crisis, Candiria, The Clay People, Tree, Scissorfight, Honkeyball, Sam Black Church, Today is the Day, and Grief.
