South Florida-based Wallop got mixed up in local alternative steel picture in 1998 when guitarist Jason Henshaw made a decision to create a fresh task; he was shortly joined up with by drummer Tag Goldberg, guitarist Lance Piper, vocalist/songwriter Mike Hernández, and bassist Nick Tobolski. After documenting its self-produced debut EP, a four-track disc known as Myopia released by Brutal Sound Information in 2001, Wallop began touring Florida’s east coastline club circuit.
