Trip Fuse is the creation of Teague Purtell. The idea and recording began in late summer of 2002. The debut full length cd was released in 2004.

Teague was one of the orginal members of Battery (Metallica tribute that opened for Metallica for 5 shows in 1998) and currently plays in Moonlight Drive (Doors tribute that opened for Lynyrd Skynyrd summer of 2001).

Along with playing in two very popular tribute bands Teague has always been heavily involved in original bands. But this original band is different than the others. This is not a rock band, or metal band, or jam band. It is a fusion of styles from classical to jazz, rock to metal, hip hop to reggae and everything in between.
