Brothers Nik and Rio Mariucci performed on and off with bassist Josh Schuchard in the metal band Nio for more than 15 years. But after Schuchard’s sudden and tragic death in February 2023, the brothers decided to look backward. The result is an old punk rock project with bass player Tom Hejny called P-I-H. Rio Mariucci said P-I-H was initially formed in the early 2000s during a break from Nio. He describes the P-I-H sound as “explosive, with the high gain goodness of NOFX and the precision of Pennywise.” Expect a loud, riotous good time. Schuchard would want it that way.
