Hell In My Heart

Bobaflex was formed in West Virginia by brothers Shawn Beaver McCoy and Minister Marvin McCoy, direct descendants of the McCoy family from which the infamous Hatfield-and-McCoy feud of the 19th century, which almost caused a war between the states of West Virginia and Kentucky. Bobaflex built up a following in the tri-state area of West Virginia, Ohio, and Kentucky and by 2000 had attracted the attention of Atlantic as well as Columbia Records, but with little end result. Splitting over musical differences, with Lutz and Drebbit departing, Shawn, Marvin, Castro and Steele, retained the band name, opting for a more mainstream rock sound. Marvin switched to guitar, and Shawn and Marvin took over vocal duties, adding bass player Jerod Mankin. The band recorded the full length album Hell in my Heart at the V-Club in Huntington, West Virginia. The album contains 4 remastered tracks from their Chemical Valley EP, as well as an updated version of the song Slave, a live recording of the song Pretty Razors, and 9 previously unreleased tracks.
