- Dublin Death Patrol (DDP) is an American thrash metal band from Dublin, California, but it’s not any ordinary thrash band. Firstly, it counts among its personnel former and current members of Testament, Exodus, Vio-lence, Laaz Rockit, Tesla and Rampage. The main faces of the band surely must be the two frontmen: Chuck Billy and Steve “Zetro” Souza, huge players in the fledgling Bay Area thrash metal scene.
- LAST COPIES EVER!
This band is the product of a reunion of a group of close knit friends from Dublin, California back in the late 70s and 80s the young ruffians who got into fights in barns and backyards as kids, and then later played in high school punk/metal bands in those very same barns and backyards; the same high-spirited youths who in their own words swapped guitars and girlfriends with equal veracity. Some of those friends would go on to major things, some wouldn’t. More than two decades on, this band of not-so-young men decided, very appropriately in a Hooters restaurant, to rekindle and reunite that group once again. They called themselves the Dublin Death Patrol.
