Sessions for 6 Prong Paw started in 1998. The line up includes Nick Williams on vocals, Dustin Cook on guitar, Sean Austin on guitar, Josh Moore on drums and Chad Rabideaux on bass and backup vocals. 6pp recorded their first demo at River City Studios in 1999 with Mark Rehl. The cd was entitled "Window of Opportunity" the main purpose of the demo was to get a buzz going at parties and local venues about the band. They never really officially released the cd on line but is still sold at shows.

The next endeavor was to record a full length cd. The band spent much of their weekends in 2001-2002 recording at Thin Black Line Studios in Williamston Michigan. When it came to finally mixing the project, 6pp decided to send the tracks to Audio Hammer Studios in Sanford Florida. Nick had come in contact with Jason Suecof (Audio Hammer owner and engineer) through the band Summon, whom Nick has known for years. Suecof has recorded such bands as Trivium, God Forbid, Devildriver, Chimaira and countless others. After listening to the 6pp’s tracks, Suecof highly recommended that they come down and record 4 songs with him and ditch the last year of recording. They agreed. In January 2003, 6pp drove to Sanford Florida to record there self-titled cd (the blue album). They recorded 4 songs in a week a managed to save "World Without" from the tracks recorded in Michigan. The cd was then mastered at Morrisound Studios by Tom Morris in Tampa Florida. The band spent much of 2003 and 2004 writing new material and playing as many shows as they could. In late 2004 it was decided the band would go back to Suecof to record again. The cd would include 6 songs and be entitled "Victim of Mainstream America." This time around the band spent 2 weeks in Florida. Suecof encouraged the band to record the drums at Morrisound studios. Morrisound has catered to such artists as Seven Mary Three, Obituary, Cannibal Corpse, Sepulture and many others. After the drums where done they would bring the tracks back to Audio Hammer to do the rest. They agreed. "Victim of Mainstream America" was released in the summer of 2005.

In March 2006 6 Prong Paw went on to win "The Heavyweight Championship" battle of the bands competition sponsored by former radio station 107.7 wklq. The band beat over 200 entries. They also were approached b Joe Picasso films and had the winning show filmed in HD. The band had entered the competition for the past 5 five years, each time making it to the finals, so it was a great triumph to finally win. Plus the shows where creating a great buzz about the band in the Michigan area.

Now you can find 6pp’s music anywhere and everywhere online including iTunes. The band has now invested in their own recording equipment and plan on using their experience to record their first full length.
