Bad Religion's Brooks Wackerman took some time to start a new band, Kidneys, in which he moves to the other side of the stage picking up the guitar and taking on vocal duties. Rounding out the trio are Jon Spiker, whom Wackerman met while playing with Tenacious D and his brother John on bass.

The band recently self–released a self–titled CD, a taste of which can be found on the group's MySpace page.
