Brunt of it started in 1995 in San Fransico,Ca out of the ashes of Bay area's Hoodlum Empire. Many lyrics coming from Lead singer of Hoodlum, Rob Rock who has been MIA since 1995. They played gigs in the bay area for about a year until Boofish moved back to the east coast. The band was reformed with childhood friends and band mates from the R.I. hardcore scene where he was very active in his youth. Recorded a nine song cd in 1997 called (by accident thanks to the printers) Safety Margin. Brunt of It has been gigging ever since in various forms. 2005 brings the most powerful line up to date.
