Long Island native and ludichrist fan Joe Butcher joined the group as second guitarist, bringing his active musical sensibilities with him.
Per an interview with Cummings that was posted on Facebook in Nov. 2024 by Blasted By Britton, a reissue of the CBGBs cassette is being discussed with Megaforce Records.
[3] Immaculate Deception features the line-up: Batross, Butcher, Christ, Cummings, and Valle – and was recorded at Platinum Island Sounds in Manhattan with Randy Burns producing.
The album track "You Can't Have Fun" features guest vocalists Roger Miret, John Connelly, Chris Notaro, and Eddie Sutton from fellow New York bands Agnostic Front, Nuclear Assault, Crumbsuckers and Leeway.
By the time their second album, Powertrip, was released, only two original members, singer Tommy and guitarist Glen, were left.
As of 2008[update], Batross continues to live in NYC and has been the sole American member in three all-Japanese bands: The Plungers, The Spunks and Gelatine.
[citation needed] Original bassist Chuck Valle joined Murphy's Law, and had become an audio engineer (see Six and Violence), but was stabbed to death in California.
