One of the less formulaic examples of nu metal yet (showing certain ties to old-school thrash), San Diego's Dr. Chunk is comprised of vocalist Tighe Werntz, guitarist Eric Beard, bassist Jeff Simpson, and drummer Mikey Niel (also a member of power metal act Cage), and issued a promising eponymous debut in 2002 that was mixed by P.O.D. associate Steve Russell. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia, All Music Guide
