In '95 The Joykiller released their self-titled debut on Epitaph Records and instantly seized respect from the punk rock community. The combination of vocalist Jack Grisham and guitarist Ron Emory, the creative duo that was T.S.O.L, along with Billy Persons (Gun Club and Weirdoes) and the fuzzed out keyboards of Ronnie King (keyboardist for Tupac Shakur and Snoop Doggy Dogg), The Joykiller delivered a punk record with an exciting new twist that transended the pop-punk genre that was experiencing it's first peak with the success of Green Day and the Offspring.
