, along with
D.I. members, TNT, Joey Glock, and Colt Clayton, formed the So Cal/Oregon
Punk Rock X-Pistols. The band started when Daddy X was feeling an urge to revert to his old Punk Rock days, and wanted to do another punk band."There is always a punk element to what the Kottonmouth Kings do, but I’ve had a burning desire to press down on the throttle and open up the engine to my punk-rock roots." "Once I heard the Dirtball spit his venomous patterns on some punk, it was a wrap! I told him we need to do a whole record. The goal was to have fun, unleash some energy and take punk rock somewhere it had never been taken! I think we awoke a sleeping beast with this record."
