About
Stripwired is an exciting high energy rock band with brutal vocals, grinding torrid guitar riffs, and menacing rhythms. Listening to their debut CD has reminded many people of classic 70's era AC/DC with Brian Johnson vocals. There's a good reason for that comparison, all the members of Stripwired have been performing in Back in Black, an AC/DC tribute that has performed all over the country.
Their first band, Back In Black was formed in late 2001 by former LA bandmates Mike Mroz (Angus) and Darren Caperna (Bon & Brian). Mike had always recognized the potential of this project due to Darren's uncanny ability to transcend both the spirit of Bon Scott and Brian Johnson into his voice. Jay Benzi (drums), and Mike Wagner (guitar) were found via an ad in the Dallas Observer. Taylor Smith (bass) was added due to his incredible musicianship and voice. The band has created an incredible buzz which has placed them as one of the top drawing tribute acts in North America, performing sold out shows from Puerto Rico to Toronto. They also recently performed to over 36,000 people at the Bone Bash in Ft Worth, and have been recruited by Sony Music, AC/DC's new record label, to promote catalog sales. 20th Century Fox have chosen Back in Black over all other tribute bands to record AC/DC's classics "TNT" and "A long way to the top" for two of their movies, Napoleon Dynamite and Garage Days.

"We all admire the spangled acrobat with classical grace meticulously walking his tight rope in the talcum light; but how much rarer art there is in the sagging rope expert wearing scarecrow clothes and impersonating a grotesque drunk! I should know." (Vladimir Nabokov)
