ASYLUM
A rock 'n' roll garage band

Asylum were a garage band formed by four teenagers in the California cities of San Jose and Campbell. With the exception of the drummer, none of them could really play. However, they didn't let that stop them from writing and performing original songs. In true garage band fashion, what they lacked in musicianship, they made up for in energy and fun

TIMELINE:
