Moistboyz I II
Moistboyz is an American hard rock band formed in New Hope, Pennsylvania in 1991 by Guy Heller and Mickey Melchiondo. Moistboyz music is typically fast-paced punk/metal, combining stream-of-consciousness lyrics with aggressive rock guitar riffs.

However, they didn't develop a musical partnership until 7 years later. While Melchiondo's other band Ween was working on their third album Pure Guava, Heller's band False Front was working out of the same farm house studio. During times when Melchiondo's Ween bandmate wasn't around, he and Heller would make music on their own. Describing the early sessions for recording with Heller, Melchiondo said “We started doing this really aggressive music and it was really getting us off, and we were really doing so much of it that we had enough to fill up a tape.” These sessions would re ...
