Kerosene 454 was a punk rock band from Washington, D.C. They formed in 1993. ^[1] The core of the group, brothers John and Jim Wall along with Erik Denno, went through a number of drummers before hooking up with Darren Zentek in time to record their 1st LP, Situation At Hand. This lineup continued to tour and record for 5 years, releasing the LPs Came By To Kill Me in 1996 and At Zero in 1998, both of which appeared on the Slowdime Records label (in conjunction with Dischord Records), which John Wall co-ran.
