Ska, Reggae, Dub, Punk,

Hi, I'm Ray...

I'm one of the bands' founding

members and original lead vocalist. You

may have seen our CD "FORCES 1977-82"

in stores, on websites, reviews, or at Amazon. com,

Tower Records, etc. For that accomplishment, I'd like to thank Neil

and Lucas Cooper, all the people at R.O.I.R. (Reach Out International Records),

and all the writers, retailers, etc. In times like these it took courage.

Most of all though, I want to thank our Drummer, "DRO"

without whose effort to compile and get the CD

out while he was extremely ill, was a heroic

effort on his part. Sadly, he has since

passed on, but we will be forever

grateful to him. This website is

dedicated to his

memory.

It has again

become my sad duty

to report another loss of one of my

former band mates. On Thur. April 26, 2007

Bass Player - Gary Schiess, another founding member,

passed away as the result of a heart attack. It's an extremely

profound loss to me, since I've known Gary forty years and played

together with him in numerous bands since I was sixteen years old.

Words can't express how much he will be missed by all those who knew him.

This site is now dedicated to the memory of

both

David Ostrowe (Drummer)

and

Gary Schiess (Bassist)

without whose efforts

our music would

never have

existed.

RIP
