It was in March 1996 that the first line-up of Bankrupt started rehearsing in a school basement. It consisted of Rocco, William, Canadian singer Michael K and Black Peter on drums. Michael left in ’99 and the 2 axemen split the vocal duties. After a Spinal Tap-style succession of drummers, Shorty entered the picture in late 2000, and we haven’t had any line-up changes ever since.
Bankrupt has turned 15 this month.
