Prisonshake

 Prisonshake began in 1986 in Cleveland. Guitarist Robert Griffin and drummer Scott Pickering had played together in Spike In Vain, and shortly afterwards got together to record what would be Prisonshake's first demo. In May 1987, with engineer/producer Chris Burgess filling the bass slot, the trio released the first single, "Fairfield Avenue Serenade" and began performing regularly throughout the region, with Doug Enkler signing on as principal vocalist just a few months later.
