THE PROZACS formed in Wester Massachusetts during September of 2001 as a side project of Jay from THE GRANDPRIXX. After recruiting some local band members, THE PROZACS wrote songs and played a few shows. The spring of 2002 brought the end of THE GRANDPRIXX and THE PROZACS became more than a side project. Line-up changes were made and demos were recorded. In Late 2002, THANKS FOR NOTHING was recorded and then released in the spring of 2003. (with original members Jay on guitar/vocals and Dave on guitar/vocals and the addition of Colin on bass and Marty of THE GRANDPRIXX on drums) Following were several shows, compilation appearances and an East Coast tour with THE VENTS.
