Born from the ashes of the rock juggernaut Throat Locust, Ken Mackay and Dave Ball teamed up with Billerica's finest rhythm section Dave Jarvis and Chris Olivero to form Big John Studd. They set out to conquor Billerica, then Massachusetts, and eventually.... all of New England. Entering the squared circle of the Boston metal/hardcore scene in the mid-90's BJS did battle alongside of local legends such as Tree, Sam Black Church, Scissorfight, Honkeyball, Otis, 454 Big Block, Humans Being and early incarnations of Shadows Fall and Unearth. BJS also grappled with national touring acts such as Napalm Death, Kilgore, Shootyz Groove, EyeHateGod & Today Is The Day. Big John Studd came, saw, and kicked a metric ton of ass no matter where they played.
