Some people go their whole lives thriving on the recordings of a favorite band. With no intentions of seeing, them play live. Others bloom and prosper, from the pure erotic energy that they leave with after seeing a great live show. This surreal experience will be with them for the rest of their lives, becoming irreplaceable. Either way it does not matter. The listener still feels united and exposed to something they feel or have never felt before. This is why 6 Prong Paw exists. Their not out to be teen idols or role models. Nevertheless, simply to connect and be connected.

6 Prong Paw's name derived from a friend whom worked at the dog pound. He learned that dogs have a sixth claw remove shortly after birth. This claw (prong) can cause serious injury in an attack to humans and other animals if not extracted. One of the founders of 6pp, Nick Williams, thought that the name was perfect. It symbolized the standards and rules that society has put on music or anything for that matter and going against the grain was another goal that sparked 6pps motivation.

Sessions started in February 1998 by drummer Chad Johncock and singer/guitar player Nick Williams. Johncock was a highly qualified power drummer that had been playing all his life. He had played locally in a couple of death metal bands and wanted to brake free from the restrictions that came with that genre. Williams, in the same situation, left the death seen also. Playing guitar sense the tender age of 10, he had been in and out of bands that just did not satisfy his eclectic fever. Band members came and went. Surprisingly in the small town of Hastings Michigan, there were quit a few musicians about. Dustin Cook however, was one whom stood out from the norm. Cooks drive, dedication, and love for all of music's diversity intrigued Nick and Chad. So in late '98' after leaving a band he created Dustin strapped on a bass a joined 6 Prong Paw. In 1999 (Mike Smith/ guitar'98-00', Dustin Cook/ bass, Nick guitar/vocals, Chad/drums) they recorded a four song demo entitled 'Window of Opportunity.' The sole purpose of the CD was to get gigs at local clubs and to give people at the shows something to go home with. Lastly, in 2002 6 Prong Paw approached a 17-year-old guitar player named Sion Austin. Finding the right guitar player is something Nick and Chad knew they needed to do in order to take the band to the next level. Sion was a five yr. player with the skills of 10 yr., veteran. He learns stuff a bit quicker than the average musician does. His use of effects, technique, and passion made him the perfect suitor for the job.

6 Prong Paw is a versatilly influenced band. Not only are they instigated by music and the arts, but by every day life. They also refuse to label their music and insist you observe, connect, and free yourself from the ideas that everyone puts in your head and listen to yourself. In 2002 'eclectic,' the bands first LP will be released. There promises to be something for everyone in this CD whether you are old, young, green, or yellow.
