Ten Foot Pole
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ten Foot Pole is a U.S. melodic hardcore band, formerly on Epitaph Records. The band was founded in 1983 as Scared Straight. They renamed themselved in the early 1990s while on tour in Europe, not wanting to be mistaken for a "straight edge" punk band.

[edit] Overview
Before changing their name to Ten Foot Pole in the early 1990s, the band included nardcore punk members Scott Radinsky and Dennis Jagard. The band released two albums under their new name with the old lineup: Swill, and Rev. After the release of Rev and a split EP with Swedens satanic surfers, Scott was forced to leave the band due to his pro baseball commitments, and ten foot pole's desire to be a full-time touring band. The next album, Unleashed featured Jagard on guitar/vocals and was a hit with fans. The follow up was Insider before the band was dropped by Epitaph. The band rebounded after the death of a band member to release Bad Mother Trucker on Victory Records. After being dropped by Victory, they were signed to Go-Kart Records and realesed Subliminable Messages.
