Please pick your favorite 3 tracks from ‘Take A Bite Outta This’ and tell us a little about what they are about.
“She Spits Venom”, “The Chosen Ones”, “Super Sonic Freak 2”. She Spits Venom came from an idea from my son
describing his sister! The Chosen Ones came from an idea to bring back the 80”s sound (our generation), Super Sonic
Freak was written in collaboration with Derek Davis from Babylon AD.

If you had to tell someone what your Bad Boy Eddy music sounded like, what bands would you mention?
Skid Row, Whitesnake, Judas Priest and hair metal bands from the 80’s with the Big Arena Rock sound and the great
melodies and guitar riffs.

What plans do you have for 2018-19?
We just shot a new video with our current line up except with Eddy Vega back on vocals, “She Spits Venom” with
Rockin Ryan Richardson. We are currently 3 songs into the new album. We just played “Cruefest” at the world famous
Whiskey A Go Go in Hollywood! I will continue writing more new, original songs for the upcoming year.
