Ten foot pole - Rev

Ten Foot Pole was founded in 1983 under the name Scared Straight. In the early 1990s, after releasing You Drink, You Drive, You Die (1988), Scared Straight changed their name to Ten Foot Pole.

One of the reasons for the name change was to move away from the "straight-edge" reputation that followed the band with a name like Scared Straight. In the beginning, Ten Foot Pole had a reputation of being a more aggressive, hardcore punk band that likes to party and have fun.

After the release of Rev and a split EP with Sweden's Satanic Surfers, Radinsky was forced to leave the band due to his professional baseball commitments and Ten Foot Pole's desire to be a full-time touring band. From then on Dennis Jagard took over lead vocals for the band.

The album "Rev" was released in 1994.
