Warrior Soul is an American hard rock / punk band formed in 1988 by lead singer Kory Clarke, guitarist John Ricco, bassist Pete McLanahan, and drummer Paul Ferguson (later replaced by Mark Evans and then Scott Dubois). Often cited as one of the most underrated bands of the time^{[citation needed]}, they were signed to Geffen Records from 1989 to 1994. The 1995 album Space Age Playboys was released on the independent Futurist Records label, but the band disbanded within the year. Odds & Ends was released the next year as a posthumous collection of demos and outtakes. Also in 1996 Kory Clarke went on to found a short lived band called Space Age Playboys. Kory Clarke then became the lead singer of Dirty Rig for a brief period. Mark Evans, the band's drummer for three of their albums, was murdered in London, UK in 2005.^[1]

Following the re-release of the band's first five albums on Escapi Music in 2006, Kory has reformed Warrior Soul for a UK tour in March 2007 using long time musician friends from England and Sweden. Work has begun on a new Warrior Soul album and a live album taken from the band's October UK tour. Kory has since been announced as the new lead singer of Trouble as of May 2, 2008, according to Trouble's website.
