Founded in 1992 by Heller and Melchiondo, Moistboyz have recorded and released one EP (Moistboyz I), three full albums (Moistboyz II, III & IV), multiple singles and a live concert DVD devoted to their patented brand of punk and metal flavored rock and roll.
Prior to Moistboyz V, most songs are vintage punk and metal in tenor marrying vocalist Guy Heller's stream-of-consciousness lyrics to ass-whip riffing and ferocious lead work from multi-instrumentalist Mickey Melchiondo (Ween). But on Moistboyz V they also address other musical styles including country-tinged folk rock on songs like "Down On The Farm" and "My Time To Die." Special guests include Chuck Treece on drums on "Protect and Serve," "Medusa," "Garbageman" and Joe Kramer on guitar on "Protect and Serve," "Chickendick," "Down on the Farm," and "My Time to Die".
Past touring versions of Moistboyz have included members of Ween and the Sound of Urchin and the current live line up will consist of Guy and Mickey joined by Mondo Generator bassist Nick Oliveri and drummer Hoss Wright, along with guitarist Stephen Haas, who mixed the new album.
