Enewetak was a grindcore band formed in Orange, California, in 1994. Enewetak has been called "one of the most progressive hardcore bands of the mid-to-late nineties, overshadowing its contemporaries such as Unruh and Suicide Nation."
From humble beginnings in garages and coffee houses, Enewetak went on to gain international acclaim for its unique sound and ever-evolving style. Over the course of the band's ten-year career, Enewetak released three full-length studio albums, as well as four seven-inch records and a DVD.
Enewetak took its name from an atoll in the Marshall Islands.
Enewetak's sound has been described as "brutal hardcore", as well as "damn heavy, with huge roaring grooves and ferocious vocals"
The original line up of Enewetak consisted of Forrest Locke on vocals, Jim Greco on guitar, Graham Day on guitar, Toby Sterrett on bass guitar and Ben Fall on drums. Fall left the band in early 1995 and was replaced by Patrick Bonfrisco. The following year, Day was replaced by Jack Fitzgerald.
Fun tickets in my pocket, visions in my brain
Grand father always told me it I went down
I might never come back again
I studied the language tapes
And I read all the books
Still nothing prepared me for my
Very First Look
It was my First Look
Baby that's all it took
Was my First Look
Around
I think I want to go flyin'
But I don't want to leave the ground
So I'll just cruise on my landing gear
And taxi round Rio town
Up to the mountain, down to the sea
Take me to Leblon where the samba queen
Waits for me
It was my First Look
That's when I swallowed the hook
On my First Look
Around
Amora premiera vista
Voce no kier queo insisto
Amora premiera vista
Reacion quimica
Amora premiera vista
Voca no kier queo insista
Amora premiera vista
Reacion quimica
Six days later I was felling like a missing link
When my friends told me hey Jimmy
It must have been the hoodlum drink
Now it's time for siestas
And a belly full of rice and beans
And figure if I'm brave enough
To repeat the whole crazy scene
On my First Look
That's when I swallowed the hook
On my First Look around
Amora premiera vista
Voce no kier queo insista
Amora premiera vista
Reacion quimica
Amora premiera vista
Voca no kier queo insista
Amora premiera vista
Reacion quimica
