Salvo (band)

Pain was formed in Tuscaloosa, Alabama in 1994 by McGill–Toolen Catholic High School[1] friends Dan Lord (born in 1970 or 1971),[2] Mark "Pose" Milewicz,[3] and Adam Guthrie.

[2] Lord received his Master of Theology from University of Dallas,[5] married, became an author, and as of January 2013[update], lived in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina and taught at Cathedral of Saint John the Baptist in nearby Charleston.

[3] After what their new record label (Earth Libraries) called "a gigantic break",[6] Salvo was scheduled to release the first album under the new name (Off the Charts) in Mobile, Alabama on September 13, 2019.

[8] Salvo's lineup hails from all across the southeastern United States: South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama (Birmingham, Spanish Fort, Mobile), and New Orleans.

Other Pain alumni that returned were Stuart McNair on horns and accordion;[1] Niamh Tuohy Fields on violin; George Kennedy on drums; Jason Reid; Christopher Johnson; and Demondrae Thurman.

'"[4] In 2013, The Post and Courier described Pain's music as punk rock, known for its "upbeat lyrics and melodies, including a horn section, and Lord's semi-hyperactive antics.

[4] Salvo's 2019 album was a crowdfunding success:[3] Off the Charts was recorded at Ol Elegante in Birmingham, Alabama, and was planned for release on CD, vinyl, and digitally.

[1] In 2019, filmmaker Rebecca Pugh (fiancée to Adam Guthrie) premiered her documentary film about Pain, Anthem for the Middle Aged Band in Birmingham, Alabama.
