California's alt-metal quintet Ultraspank originally consisted of Jerry Oliviera (guitars), Dan Ogden (bass), Pete Murray (vocals/programming), Neil Godfrey (guitars/programming), and <a href="spotify:artist:7CFQJPj2nbnKs7K539v27r">Tyler Clark</a> (drums). The group formed out of the ashes of <a href="spotify:artist:0HcArb3ZZ5TwDMEC6AeoZ2">Clark</a>, Ogden, and <a href="spotify:artist:7d7q5Y1p2QWS4QRAhTQR5E">Murray</a>'s early '90s speed metal band Indica, which became MTV's Best College Rock Band in 1992. By 1995, they had rechristened themselves Spank, added <a href="spotify:artist:2qh0WzH1j0QXhPrYriCNPU">Godfrey</a> and Oliviera, and begun writing more groove-oriented rock. Due to copyright conflicts, Spank became Ultraspank when they signed to Epic in 1996. They released their self-titled debut album in 1998 and appeared with <a href="spotify:artist:35Uu85Pq33mK8x1jYqsHY2">Sevendust</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:6159IBm5gLPwG4BcJXseXc">Soulfly</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:3YcBF2ttyueytpXtEzn1Za">Incubus</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:3RNrq3jvMZxD9ZyoOZbQOD">Korn</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:3HVdAiMNjYrQIKlOGxoGh5">Rob Zombie</a>, as well as earning a spot on that year's OzzFest tour. Despite this extensive roadwork, however, the album failed to chart. <a href="spotify:artist:0HcArb3ZZ5TwDMEC6AeoZ2">Clark</a> left the band and was replaced by James "Fed" Carroll. Ultraspank's second album, Progress, appeared in May 2000, as they played gigs with Static-X and Slipknot. ~ Heather Phares, Rovi
