“in-de-pend-ence n. 1 the state or quality of being independent; freedom from the influence, control or determination of another or others 2 [Now Rare] an income sufficient for a livelihood” - Webster’s New World Dictionary (Third College Edition)
The band started in the early nineties. They were discovered by Joey Ramone of the Ramones whilst opening a show for them, during their "Acid Eaters" tour.
Joey later managed the band, and continued to be their manager, mentor, and friend until his death in 2001. Before he died, Joey produced the album Back from the Grave, along with his friend Daniel Rey.
In 2005, the band was involved in a serious van crash in England while touring with The Dangerfields. Willy B, who was riding in front, broke his arm in several places and the remaining dates were canceled. Within weeks, however, they were back on the road in their native South Carolina.

Hearsay has it that the only thing scarier to sprout from the muck and mire of South Carolina’s swampland than guitarist Willy B is his partner-in-grime Evil Presly. Whereas Mr. B has that gentlemanly Southern smarm and a drawl that simply drips with “git th’ shovel”, Mr. Presly - a leather ‘n leopard wrapped mass of mange, canines and charisma that’s charmed the pants off more than one chimpanzee - is a brash, one-man avalanche. Put simply, put the two together on a stage, in a van or bar tab and somebody’s gonna end up hurt and bawlin’.
In the early 1990’s, the pair joined forces, vowing to destroy the boggy boredom and stereotypical sasquatchshit that was plaguing their local music scene. With an unhealthy devotion to horror films and frighteningly diverse musical tastes in tow, the Demonic Duo decided that the best way to pay tribute to their heroes - Conway Twitty, Iron Maiden, Etta James, The Specials and the Ramones among them - were to hammer them all into a shaker (no stirring, thank you) and serve the whole steaming and quickly-congealing mess over ice. A few years of doing so laid waste to not only a few band members, but a handful of demo recordings, compilation appearances and scads of hellish live shows as well, culminating into a deal with indie label Rockduster Records and the release of The Independents’ debut, IN FOR THE KILL. Extensive touring for IFTK resulted in shows with Voodoo Glow Skulls and Blink 182, as well as blossoming a friendship between Evil and Ramones bassist CJ Ramone. A few opening dates of the Ramones ACID EATERS tour followed, ending with The Independents being taken under the motherly leather wing of Joey Ramone, who volunteered to manage and produce the band.
