From the very beginning, in the small venues of Los Angeles California, and later to the numerous countries worldwide that banned these Winged Assassins from performing live, the Band\u2019s unique style of Shock and Rock caused Religious organizations, Local City Councils, Parliaments, and the Washington D.C. Senate to hold hearings in an effort to bar this group from selling records and trashing stages everywhere they played.<\/p>\n<p>The band\u2019s founding member, frontman Blackie Lawless, has led the group as its lead vocalist and primary songwriter since its beginning. His unique brand of visual, social and political comment took the group to worldwide heights and sold millions of records alongside a legacy of sold out shows across the globe for 4 decades.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.waspnation.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.waspnation.com<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/W.A.S.P.Nation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/W.A.S.P.Nation<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/waspofficial\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/twitter.com\/waspofficial<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/instagram.com\/waspnationofficial\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/instagram.com\/waspnationofficial<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/youtube.com\/@WASPNationOfficial\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/youtube.com\/@WASPNationOfficial<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@waspnationofficial\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@waspnationofficial<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bandsintown.com\/a\/7553\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.bandsintown.com\/a\/7553<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-46358\" src=\"http:\/\/michaelbrandvold.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/pr-2024-11-14-wasp-01.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"http:\/\/michaelbrandvold.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/pr-2024-11-14-wasp-01.png 600w, http:\/\/michaelbrandvold.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/pr-2024-11-14-wasp-01-480x480.png 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 600px, 100vw\" \/><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p><strong>About Michael Brandvold Marketing:<\/strong><br \/>\nMichael Brandvold is a freelance music industry consultant based in Northern California.
