After listening to copious Michael Jackson and number one Christian rap
god, Carmen, Rockwell formed the Misha, Hamza & Ward group with two other
people. After getting caught swearing about god, they split up.
Bruff Da Force was formed in Middle School with child hood friend I.B. Ruff,
local backyard wrestler and accoustic artist. This band consisted of singing
"Schools Out" by Alice Cooper with a melody line and backing beat played on
a casio keyboard.
I.B Ruff continued with Rockwell into the CMS Millenium Band, a band made by
the school to celebrate the millenium. A Beastie Boys inspired tune saw
Rockwell on Drums, Sebastian on Guitar, Ruff and Mr. A. Westley on vocals,
and Mr. Mack on piano, the music teacher who consistantly played the miami
vice theme tune, which helped Rockwell retain his interest in music. The
lyrics of the millenium song involved "The millenium is here, the nineties
gone, get your butt inline, cus we gotta move on, we comin right at ya with
22 tons of solid rap, which has just be gone" and consequently got them
beaten up for being "wigga honkies".
Moving on to Upper School, Rockwell pestered local rockband Bubblegum to be
their vocalist. They let him, and thus changed their name to Insert Name
Here (IDK was rejected, because it stood for I Don't Know). Playing the
first gig together as a group at the King Billy, they apparently were
mentioned on Radio 1 for being "a band to watch out for" the following
evening. This later transpired, obviously, to be bollocks.
A very short stint with Italy Math Jazz band Ephel Duath left Rockwell with
not much more than what he had to start with, apart from a Ephel Duath
t-shirt.
While being in the band, Rockwell saw Pigunit by accident. Boabus being a
cross between English/Drama teacher to Rockwell etc., a small interest in
the band was created via the website. Rockwell then plugged an INH gig to
the unit and displayed talent worthy of unit standard, and a shortwhile
after that, appeared in the band.
