Bringing forth frenzied punk-pop-style tunes, Inspection 12 presents some distinct creations within the most fierce and rhythmic visions of power rock & roll. Dan McLintock (vocals, bass) and Scott Shad (drums) were the founding members of Inspection 12 in 1994, while still middle schoolers in Jacksonville, FL. Later joining the team were Pete Mosely (guitar, vocals) and Shad's cousin James Trimble (guitars), who finally closed Inspection's lineup in late 1997. During the following years, the band managed to appear on numerous shows, including playing on the same stage as No Use for a Name and Man Face. 1997's Inspection 12, their debut and self-titled album, was the first full-length of a series of four that the band managed to issue on their own. You're a Nation (1998) and Step Into the Fire (1999) were released before the band dissolved around the time of McLintock's high school graduation.
