Contents

Noise Ratchet began as a pop punk/ska band in February 1997 in San Diego, California. In 1998, they released their first independent album, Never Going Back, at Youth Wave 1998 while opening for P.O.D. The Supertones, Stavesacre. In 1999, the band's original drummer, Richard Savercool left the band and drummer Brandon Young filled this vacancy. At the same time, guitarist Roger Molina was also added to the lineup. [1] In 2002 they released their album Till We Have Faces on The Militia Group label, which won San Diego’s 2002 award for Best Recording. In promotion of this album, Noise Ratchet toured with several acts, including Dashboard Confessional and Switchfoot.

In 2003 the band released a self-titled EP, an assemblage of five new songs and a revamped version of the acoustic "A Way to the Heart", which originally appeared on Till We Have Faces. In 2003 they signed with Rick Rubin's Major Label American Recordings. and in Dec 2003 they went in the studio to record their major-label debut with producer Nick Raskulinecz (Foo Fighters, Superdrag, Danzig, Queens of the Stone Age, Paramore). They finished the record in March 2004, but in the midst of recording their label broke contract with Island Def Jam and funding for the album was cut off. With no money to mix and master the album, it was shelved. Touring the rest of 2004 with no tour support, the members parted ways in November 2004. Hosler, Jameson and Young started a side project called The Life, which never released an album and soon after Jameson and Young went on to form Delta Spirit. [2] Molina is a professional hair stylist in SoCal, and Hosler owns Seven C Music in St. Petersburg, Florida.
