Walk the Plank

Spirit Chief romped & stomped for a year between 2009 and 2010. During this time all the boys were a buncha underage lowlifes makin' a noise and stirrin' up shit throughout Western New York. ....and also never got it together well enough to finish a proper release.

Levi Van Cleve and Andy Pothier went on to play with The Evil Things and Pine Fever,  while Johnny, Will, and Shufelt got busy with other endeavors.
