Based out of Los Angeles, CA, The Railsplitters origins rooted from five different sides of the U.S. prior to their formation. Although drummer Jim Austin hails as an L.A. resident, bassist Keith Campagnola came from the NJ coast, guitarist Neil Delaforce grew up in Hawaii, guitarist Victor Dawahare flew in from Detroit, while vocalist Leif Cole left behind Seattle. Resulting in a 70's rock hybrid of metal and blues, Acetate Records debuted The Railsplitters first album Ridin' High in 2000. ~ Mike DaRonco
