SouthGang was a Los Angeles–based rock band composed of lead vocalist Jesse Harte, guitarist Butch Walker, bassist Jayce Fincher, and drummer Mitch "Slug" McLee, active in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
The band's original name, Byte the Bullet, was changed to SouthGang before they released their first album, Tainted Angel.
The band is best remembered for their 1991 single "Tainted Angel," which received some MTV airplay, especially during Headbangers Ball.
More recently, Walker has had a successful solo music career, as well as written and produced hits for many of today's pop and rock artists such as Fall Out Boy, Panic!
Harte is currently residing in the Atlanta area, working in the cell phone industry.
