The Drawers is a band formed in Toledo, OH in 2003. Two brothers -- Christopher Duckett and Bradley Everett -- joined with high school mate Jeremy Luring to perform and record songs written by Duckett. Luring plays bass, with Everett originally on drums (he later moved to guitar) and Duckett singing and playing guitar. The Drawers developed a local cult following with unique songs and recordings, and an at times raucous, contentious stage show.

In 2003 the Drawers self-released an 11-song album called Virgin Rock, which was never reviewed. Self-produced without much professionalism or care, the album garnered little attention, even in the local music scene. For the next two years the Drawers were unable to attract management or lasting fans, and found themselves performing at local dives like The Longhorn Saloon with visiting punk bands and local stoner rock and heavy metal bands, to tiny audiences.
