The Story of Allister
Allister started as a band in 1995 in Chicago, Illinois. It was formed by high school friends Tim Rogner and John Hamada. Eric Mueller joined them in 1996.
The band first called themselves Phineas Gage. But in 1996, they changed their name to Allister. This new name was a tribute to a character named Alasdair Gillis from a Canadian TV show called You Can't Do That on Television.
Allister released their first album, Dead Ends and Girlfriends, in 1999. It was put out by a record company called Drive-Thru Records.
Their second album, Last Stop Suburbia, came out on October 1, 2002. One of their songs from this album, "Somewhere On Fullerton," was even featured in the 2003 video game Disney's Extreme Skate Adventure.
