Pain was formed in Tuscaloosa, Alabama in 1994 by friends Dan Lord, Mark "Pose" Milewicz, and Adam Guthrie. Guthrie was a guitarist-songwriter, Milewicz played bass guitar, and Lord became the band's songwriter and lead singer. Pain played music variously described as pop punk, punk rock, and ska. However, in February 1997, lead singer Dan Lord took to the band's website to categorically deny that Pain was a ska band: "There are a lot of styles we emulate and ain't none of 'em from the island of Jamaica. So please, PLEASE, unless you're just havin' some fun with us, don't call us a ska band." The band released four albums, toured the world, and produced original music for the mid-nineties reboot of the kids cartoon, Jabberjaw.In 2000, while Pain was talking with interested record labels, Lord shut down Pain to pursue his religious calling. Lord received his Master of Theology from the University of Dallas, married, and became an author and father before reconnecting with Guthrie in 2018.In the years leading up to 2018, Lord continued writing music and found that most of his new material was best suited as Pain songs. He and Guthrie agreed that these new tracks should be recorded and released. When Milewicz declined to return, Lord and Guthrie felt it was inappropriate to call the group Pain without one of its co-founders... and Salvo was born. The new band released their first album, Off the Charts, in 2019. In August of 2022, Salvo released The Traveler. Dan Lord and Adam Guthrie sat down with Geoff and Keith to talk about their career... and what's next for the band.LINKS:Salvo on BandcampSalvo on FacebookSalvo on InstagramSalvo on YouTubeSalvo on the WebHistory (so far) on WikiDan Lord NewsletterLearn more about your ad choices.
