Since We All Live In The Same City Now We Saw No Reason Why We Wouldn't Carry Pezz Into It's 17th Year And Beyond. While Most Punk Bands Last Only A Few Years If Even That Pezz Has Held Together Through A Myriad Of Line Up Changes Gruelling Tours And Personal Struggles. The Thing That Has Held Pezz Together Is The Intense Friendship Between Its Core Members And Its Honest Approach To Music. They've Been Able To Make Many Lasting Friendships Through The U.S. Canada And Europe And Have Been Fortunate To Tour And Play With Such Great Bands As Leatherface Wesley Willis At The Drive In Hot Water Music Bouncing Souls SamIam 7 Seconds Youth Brigade All The Answers The Unit Breed DBS And Too Many Others To Count. They've Slept On Many Floors And Had Great Adventures. Some Of The Band's Other Projects Include Bury The Living Akasha That Was Then And The Riverbottom Nightmare Band. 2 Pezz Originated In Streetsville Ontario Where They Released Two Tapes Entitled Demoluca And Dudebox In The Early/mid 90’s.
