Stress (band)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Stress was a melodic rock band formed in San Diego in 1983.

[edit] Biography

Stress was founded in 1983 by bassist Josquin des Pres and vocalist/guitarist Mike Thomas. They added guitarist Tim Nicholson and went through a number of drummers; most notably Leroy Vega (formerly of Assassin). When Nicholson left in early 1985, he was replaced with guitarist Jimmy Crespo, who had previously played with Aerosmith.

Stress performed primarily in San Diego and Los Angeles performing at clubs such as Madame Wong's, FM Station and The Troubadour.

In late 1987, frustrated by not attracting major label attention, Stress decided to move in a more pop direction. This failed to obtain the level of success they desired and they disbanded.
