X-Sinner

X-Sinner was formed in 1988 by lead guitarist Greg Bishop in Orange County California who also happens to have a Masters degree in theology. The band is well known for their blue collar leather and blue jeans approach to hard rock. The signing of the band by Elefante brothers John and Dino of Kansas fame was the first act for the brother's new Pakaderm label to help establish it in the marketplace. A decision the band would later regret. Always preferring their gritty straight up style of rock and roll influenced by similar acts Aerosmith and AC/DC over the self indulging over produced sounds of acts like Stryper, the band released their hugely successful debut 'Get It'. Soon after, during the 'Get It' tour, the band fired singer Dave Robbins and replaced him with Rex Scott then of the band Zion. They went on to record the very successful 'Peace Treaty' album and tour with Rex. At this time the band decided they were not getting the result of what they were paying for with Pakaderm and requested to get off the label. The label resisted letting the band go and so X-Sinner fell out of the spot light for a number of years until the issue was resolved legally. This is when they recorded as 'The Angry Einstiens' since they could not record as X-Sinner until Pakaderm released them. The album tracked was titled 'Cracked' and almost landed the band a deal with Sony Records. It would not see the light of day however until it was self released years later through Retroactive Records. 2009 saw the release of the band's completely all new studio effort since 'Cracked' entitled World Covered In Blood. This album rejuvenated the band's original fan base and helped launch a explosion of new concert appearances in America and Europe over the next four years.
