Southern California's Fu Manchu began crafting heavy, psychedelic tinged rock in 1990 with their debut single "Kept Between Trees." Throughout the early '90s the group honed their sound on similarly intense singles, and released their debut album No One Rides For Free in 1994 on Bong Load Records. Daredevil, also on Bong Load, followed in 1995. The group switched to Mammoth Records for their 1996 album In Search Of; the next year, founding members Scott Hill (vocals, guitars) and Brad Davis (bass, vocals) added lead guitarist Bob Balch and former Kyuss drummer Brant Bjork to their lineup, and they released their second album for Mammoth, The Action Is Go. During this time the group gained a reputation as a powerful live act, supporting like-minded groups like the Melvins, Kyuss, White Zombie, Monster Magnet and Clutch in the States, and Corrosion of Conformity, the Hellacopters and Marilyn Manson in Europe. 1998 saw the release of Return To Earth, which collected their early singles, and the Eatin' Dust EP, which was released by Frank Kozik's Man's Ruin label. Fu Manchu released their fifth full-length album King Of The Road in early 2000, following it up with a lengthy tour of the United States. They took time off to work on new material, emerging in the spring of 2002 with California Crossing. ~ Heather Phares, All Music Guide
