WET ANIMAL was founded in 1995 by guitarist Rick Wartell of seminal metal act Trouble. A
veteran of the hard music world since Trouble’s inception in 1977, Wartell is a man
who knows what he’s doing and with the singular goal of making solid hard rock music,
he has succeeded with Wet Animal. The three-piece also consists of West Virginian
singer/guitarist Shane Pasqualla, drummer Jeff “Oly” Olson, and bassist Michael
“Vito” Diprima. Having worked together since 2003, the quartet has created a very
impressive eponymous hard rock album and their initial live performances in Chicago have
attracted attendance from members of Metallica, Smashing Pumpkins and Corrosion of
Conformity. Full of heavy grooves, tight hooks and exceptional musicianship, Wet
Animal’s debut is an impressive one.
