All this shit started back in january 1996, The Alcoholic Helltones was started by Toxic Fuse (guitar) and Alcoholic Melltone (bass) as a two piece (with melltone playing drums or bass, whatever was needed, for the first couple of years), playing whatever parties and dives they could find just to have fun, meet like minded people, have a good time too and get really wasted, the band later added Pat Hell (lead guitar), Andy (drums) and Stephanie (keyboard). The Alcoholic Helltones is/are a rock and roll band, a group of rock and roll- musicians/alcoholics/lunatics/record collecting freaks/obsessive compulsives/losers/slackers/etc. The Alcoholic Helltones play their hearts out every show, doing what they love to do.. We play all over Texas, and quite often in our hometown of Victoria, Texas esp... We play that kinda drunk, sweaty, sometimes outta tune rock and roll that really means something to us... songs that make us cry, songs that make us wanna dance, songs that make us wanna get more fucked up..  Yeah, let's start a revolution, let's start another band, let's start another happening, let's start... drinking another beer.. We put out a couple of really shitty 7"ep's on Alcoholic Melltone's own Helltunes Record Label... Yeah, we've been around the block a few times, made a few friends along the way, burned many bridges too.. whatever you heard about us is probably true and well, we really just don't care.. (i'm sorry).  We have a bad reputation,  we just never really gave a fuck about it!! People come and people go, but The Alcoholic Helltones will always remain.. Who will play what they want and not conform to trends, even in the neo-elite underground garage/punk/trashe/snob scene?.., who will save rock and roll?
