CHAOS IN THE MUSIC In the sun-baked, unyielding foothills of Alta Loma, the public school system branded thirteen-year-old David with dual clinical abbreviations: ADD/ADHD. They tried to drug and discipline his internal engine into submission-but they didn't see an apprentice fabricator, an intuitive structural engineer, or an intellect suffocating in absolute mediocrity. Refusing chemical compliance, David found his ultimate operational escape on the splintered bleachers of a private Catholic high school. Here, he forged an unshakeable, three-way alliance with Alan Berman-a loose, fast-talking rogue-and Scott Edwards-a stoic, straight-edge guitar virtuoso. Together, the rejects became an inseparable, self-contained insurgent force. Transforming their rebellion into high-decibel acoustic warfare, they took over a four-car garage. With custom-built, fourteen-speaker DIY amplifier stacks, they unleashed a crushing, unholy speed-metal sound that rattled the San Gabriel Valley to its bedrock. From black-market pharmaceutical ventures and administrative tribunals to stolen cars and broken windows, this is a raw, kinetic, and darkly hilarious memoir of three misfits who refused to play by the rules-and instead built a machine that tore their peaceful, suburban empire straight out by the roots.
