Necros

Hardcore band from Maumee, Ohio which was active from 1979 to 1987. The band was initially a trio consisting of Barry Henssler (vocals), Andy Wendler (guitar), and Todd Swalla (drums). Their first 7" was the first release for Touch And Go Records. Later, Corey Rusk joined as bassist and Brian Pollack briefly replaced Wendler, who continued to write for the band but concentrated on playing with his joke band, McDonalds. Wendler returned by 1983 and Rusk left shortly after the release of the band's first LP to concentrate on running Touch And Go, which he had taken over from founders Tesco Vee and Dave Stimson. He was replaced by Ron Sakowski. Later recordings saw the band abandoning their hardcore sound and pursuing a hard rock direction before they split for good in the late '80s.
