The Painkillers

Singer and songwriter Cherish Alexander and drummer Billy Baker started the rock band The Painkillers in Los Angeles, CA, near the end of 1995. The energetic duo quickly added guitarist Curtis Hooker and bassist Matt Boyd, to piece together a fuller sound. Each member brought his or her own contributions and experiences to the new group.
