Influenced primarily by rockabilly-tinged L.A. punk bands like X and Social Distortion, the Want formed in Washington, D.C., during the early '90s. Guitarist Bob Stewart, bassist Jack Stanton, and drummer Damian Banaszak gigged heavily around the area for the next few years and in 1995 recorded their debut album, Too Much Stuff. 1998 brought about a follow-up, titled Texas. ~ Steve Huey, All Music Guide
