[edit] History

Unloco was formed in 2000 by frontman Joey Duenas. That same year, the band released a six-track EP titled Useless through Captiva Records.

The band was signed by Madonna's Maverick Records label and on March 20, 2001, Unloco released their debut album Healing. The album struggled to sell, and Unloco's future with Maverick seemed uncertain.

Soon after, guitarist Brian Arthur left to join the Ska-Punk band Goldfinger (replacing Goldfinger guitarist Charlie Paulson), and was subsequently replaced by Marc Serrano.

Maverick later gave the band the green light to record a second album. Their sophomore effort Becoming i was released on March 11, 2003, and was produced by Andrew Murdock – responsible for Powerman 5000, Godsmack and Chimaira, among other artists. The band toured with such household names as Korn and Disturbed. They also appeared at the Ozzfest Tour in 2003. Despite the push from their label, Becoming i failed to meet expectations, and the band split up that same year.

Since then, guitarist Marc Serrano joined the now departed metalcore group A Dozen Furies, drummer Pete Navarrete formed a band called "Exit the Sun" and vocalist Joey Duenas formed a band called "Anew Revolution" (featuring members from Slaves On Dope) – where they released a five-track self-released EP in 2005.
