When Justified Violence broke up, the band split in half. Bobby S and Jim Collette (when he wasn't playing with Agnostic Front) formed The Elite, while Ron Bianco and Pete Casano formed Twisted Cross. Along the way a life was lost...line-ups changed...and a little jail time.Here's the complete story...

Dan Miellie - vocals ('87)
Mike Dietz - vocals ('87-'91)
Bobby S - guitar
Ed Calibrito - bass ('87)
Dave Deluca - bass ('87-'89)
Joe Kollar - bass ('89-'91)
Jim Collette - drums
TWISTED CROSS
Ron Bianco - vocals
Scott Reid - guitar
Pete Casano - bass
Mike Dietz - drums
Looking back, there's a few things I would've done differently to Bellmore: The Unscene. One is including The Elite and Dan Miellie story (it's part of the DVD extras). I was at The Elite/Intellectuals show at La Serayña in 1987. It was the first time the older generation (older by about 4 years) played with the younger generation (my peers)...when you're in you're mid-teens, four years is a big difference. If anything, it showed us that we had a long way to go at being good musicians – The Elite were tight.
Here's The Elite's "You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet" recorded with Dan Miellie on 8/24/87...

The Elite were tight, no doubt. You can come out and say it though, The INTs weren't good musicians at all. Hell, I still stink. As much as I love the INTs and had a ton of fun, I can admit it: we stank out loud.
