History of the band: 2 Screws Loose was born in 1999 while stationed in South Korea by four Army dudes. Sean Ray (aka SERay) on lead guitar and principal writer; Sammy Mosier (aka S.A.M.) as the vocalist and also writer; Charles "Chucky" Ivey on rhythm guitar; and Sean "Tit" Imes on bass. We didn't have a drummer at the time, so we used a drum machine. I remember the day I came up with the name, “2 Screws Loose.” Chucky, Tit, Sammy, and I were all sitting/standing around each other in one of the Army barracks rooms when it hit me! The original logo was drawn by Chucky.
Eventually, we recruited Jose "Ace" Acevedo to play drums. We played many shows and even released a full-length 9 song CD called "Screw It!" Since, we were all on a short-tour in Korea, being that we were in the Army, we eventually disbanded when we started leaving for another assignment in 2001.
Since reforming in early 2020 with several line-up changes, 2 Screws Loose released a do-over full-length CD called “Screw It, Over!”, released April 26th, 2022, consisting of 8 out of the original songs from the 2000 release called “Screw It!.” In 2023, 2SL released a series of singles and finishing off the year with a Christmas Day release called “Power Drill.” With this new album, “World Gone Nuts”, coming out in August, 2025, we think this is the best release, yet. We hope you enjoy it! 😊

The Band
Guitars, Mandolin, Keyboards, and Backing Vocals – Sean E Ray “S.E.Ray”, born in 1971, started playing guitar at age 8, then drums at age 12. Grew up in the Washington DC area. Starting in the early 80s, played with D.C. punk bands such as Team Wattie, The Wimps, Carmel, Seepage, Progressive Deterioration, and many others, performing and opening up for many of the punk rock bands with up-and-coming artists such as Marginal Man, Scream, Beefeater, 7 Seconds, Government Issue, David Grohl's Mission Impossible, Brian Baker's Dag Nasty, and many more. In 2019, SERay released his third solo album called “Welcome to Tomorrow”. In the same year, SERay recorded an album called “The Universe Lied” with the band Miranda’s Rites, where I met Dizzy, which was released in early 2020. As the original founder of 2 Screws Loose, the rest is history.
Vocals – Ralph “Dizzy, Dizzy” Gossard III, born in 1994, grew up in the Appalachians with stacks of burnt CDs, no friends, and a cheap guitar. He cut his teeth playing guitar and bass with shitty bands you’ve never heard of before. Then linked up with SERay who thought he’d make a great vocalist in a metal band, thus beginning their journey to make history with new 2 Screws Loose line-up.
Drums – Dennis “Rumble 4-Skin” George, born in 1968. Started playing drums at 11 years old. Started playing with bands in clubs fall 1986. (once 18 yo). Have played in A dozen or so bands/ projects over the years. In 2018, built “Exit Shed Left” studio. Current drummer for 2 screws loose.
Bass Guitar – “Lex” Luther Vulgamott, born in 1968. Grew up listening to his father sing, play guitar, banjo and other types of instruments that he taught himself to play. Music was and is a very important part of Lex’s life, especially in the 70s. KISS was one of his childhood favorites. He picked up a bass for the first time while in the military at age 19, like his father he taught himself how to play and then joined an originals band. Stopped playing for a lot of years then picked it back up again later in life, and it was as if he never stopped like the mastermind he is. Played with a few bands before joining 2 Screws Loose.
