To avoid further legal headache, they added "America" to the name, thus, "Wrathchild America" was born. // About Members: Brad Divens - Bass & Vocals Jay Abbene - Guitars Terry Carter - Guitars & Backing Vocals Shannon Larkin - Drums & Backing Vocals The band was formed in Baltimore, Maryland (1985) Originally the band was named Wrathchild, but there was another British band with the same name. ...
