[edit] Bio
Formed in 2006, Black President is a veritable hardcore who’s-who composed of Goldfinger guitarist Charlie Paulson, who founded the band with since-departed Circle Jerks/Bad Religion guitarist Greg Hetson, vocalist/rhythm guitarist Christian Martucci (of Dee Dee Ramone’s touring band), New Dead Radio bassist Jason Christopher and Nausea/Soulfly drummer Roy Mayorga. Paulson and Martucci started writing songs together with the idea of blending the sonic fury of punk and the passion of late ’60s soul (“If we could sound like Motörhead covering ‘Ball of Confusion’ by the Temptations, we would be happy,” Paulson has said).
Once the lineup was complete, Black President hit the road in 2006 and 2007, holding its own with heavyweights such as Bad Brains, Guttermouth, the Germs, Suicidal Tendencies and a stint on the 2007 Vans Warped Tour. The debut disc is due in summer 2008 and a full touring schedule will follow.
On February 27th 2008, they posted a bulletin on Myspace, announcing they'd signed a deal with Cobra Music, and that Greg had left the band due to a busy schedule.
