Scott Earl is an American musician best known as the bassist for the Seattle-based band Culprit, and a former member of TKO and The Bang Gang.[1]
History
Earl began his career in the late 1970s when he formed the band Orpheus with guitarist John DeVol and drummer Bud Burrill.[1][2] This trio of musicians performed mostly at backyard parties without a vocalist, playing a hodgepodge of their own songs and covers from bands such as Black Sabbath, Rainbow, and Judas Priest.[2] Eventually, they merged with vocalist Jeff L'Heureux and guitarist Kjartan Kristoffersen, both of whom played in the band Amethyst, and began a new project named Culprit.[1][2] Their song "Players" was included on Shrapnel Records' 1982 compilation album U.S. Metal Vol. II, and a year later their debut album, Guilty As Charged, was released. Culprit continued touring and working on some new tunes for potential release over a two-year period. In 1984, Earl left Culprit to join the band TKO, as did Kjartan Kristofferson shortly thereafter. Although TKO's second album In Your Face was released around the time that Kristofferson and Earl joined in 1984 and they were credited along with drummer Ken Mary as the instrumentalists, fans have disputed that vocalist Brad Sinsel actually recorded it with a different lineup before they joined.[3] However, it is generally agreed that the lineup of Sinsel, Kristofferson, Earl, and Mary did record the band's third album Below the Belt, which was released in 1986. Kristofferson continued to perform with TKO for another year. In 1988, Earl and Kristofferson formed The Bang Gang with vocalist Jet Silver, guitarist Scotti Stevens, and drummer Achon, Inc., releasing their debut album, Love Sells... in 1990. Ten years later, Earl put out a second album that he had recorded with The Bang Gang, Vanity Kills.
Since the 2000 CD release of Guilty as Charged, Earl has intermittently reunited Culprit with tentative plans for future releases, eventually becoming the sole original member.[4] In 2018, the band announced through their official website that they will be releasing Guilty as Charged Live in 2019 with a few studio tracks that will be included on their long-awaited sophomore album shortly thereafter.
