The Deadly Syndrome

The four members of The Deadly Syndrome are Chris Richard, William Etling, Mike Hughes, and Jesse Hoy. The first time I met Mike from The Deadly Syndrome, he was throwing up on my couch. He had been out drinking the night before with Will, tore the head off a paper mache dummy, wrestled it across a stranger’s front lawn and then stumbled up to my house (I was living with Will and Jesse, and soon Chris would move into the garage) where he puked all over everything and passed out.
