Soda Can - HouseDrunk - 1990from the Forefront Records album - Powertool
Soda Can may have been from New Jersey but as far we're concerned they were North Carolinians. Trip Costner (now living in DC), Fred Mann (still living in W-S - I think in the same house) and Tom Gerridge (current residence unknown) moved to Winston-Salem and became a favorite band of Wake Forest U. frat parties. They spent endless weekends traveling the southeast spreading the Soda Can gospel. I have never in my life seen a tighter band live. Anyone who saw them knows what I am talking about. After a few years Fred had to take a break from music for medical reasons. Trip continued on with what became Squatweiler (a post is coming...trust me!). Fred later joined Squatweiler for their last album "Horsepower".
Band Members:
Trip Costner - Vocals, Guitars
Fred Mann - Drums
Tom Gerridge - Bass

This album was recorded in Jersey, before the NC relocation.
Wow! I haven't heard Soda Can in so long. I remember having Powertool on vinyl a long time ago. Where did you get the MP3 of House Drunk? Can you even buy this anywhere today?
I saw these guys in Clinton Iowa (back in the day opening for The Undead), they were great! I just bought the lp off ebay, then went serching for more info and wound up here. Anyone else know where there is more info on them?
They were a great bunch of guys.
