[edit] History
Formed in 1998, Twisted Method came together after its band members met each other at high school.
The band signed a five-year, $5.5 million contract with MCA Records.[1]
Geffen Records, who had recently been acquired by MCA Records, bought the band a spot on the second stage of the 2003 Ozzfest tour. Despite being in contract limbo for quite a while, things were looking up when Geffen indicated that they would finance a second album, even putting them on tour with dope twice in 2004 and recording demos in june with edsel dope.
On June 9, 2005, it was announced that Twisted Method was no more after guitarist Andrew Howard and drummer Ben Goins had quit the band. Howard left because he wanted to be with his family after becoming a father, and Goins "left the band for God".[2]
Tragically, Andrew Howard was found dead on Friday afternoon of September 16, 2005. He was just 23 years old.[3] Over two years after his passing, his death still remains a mystery.[4]
Remaining Twisted Method members, Derrick Tribbett and Derek DeSantis quickly formed a new group called Makeshift Romeo.
Aside from Makeshift Romeo, vocalist Derrick "Tripp" Tribbett is filling in on bass for Dope, and bassist Derek DeSantis has joined the band Ekotren, who is currently on tour with Ill Nino.
