GATLIN

Heavy rockers Gatlin were formed in mid-'90s Cleveland, OH, by Jon Drake (vocals/bass) and Don DeBiase (guitar), and released several albums in a similar style to '80s bands like Dokken and Armored Saint. 1997's Gatlinized Steel debut featured second guitarist Warren Cadle and drummer Dave Miller, but the latter was replaced by Mike Morrison for 1999's Forget Forever. 2002's Current saw Cadle exit in favor of Patrick Ols, and 2004's self-explanatory The EP found Kenny Irizarry on bass and Steve Lockhart on drums. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia
