Nefarious Industries

Hailing from Keyport, New Jersey, Instrumental Prog-Technical Aggro-Metal act El Drugstore was formed in 2008 as a side-project of guitarist Kevin Conway drummer Seth Rheam of East Of The Wall (Prog-Technical Metal band of the same town, of whom I recently reviewed the latest album Redaction Artefacts – you can find it posted somewhere around Christmas 2013, I guess), alongside bassist Rolando Alvarado.

What sounds like a silly bandname, is derived from a combination of this duo's drummer Atif Haq's Bangladeshi origins, and bassist/ pianist Johnny Germ (real name Jon Ehlers)'s sensio-neural hearing loss...and that makes the bandname a little less silly, now doesn't it?
