In the village of Harmon on Guam around 1996-97, Low Tolerance basically sarted out as skateboarders who got rained out on and decided to do something productive other than watch the same skate videos over and over and over. Back then it was naturally simple. It wasn't about how much mascara or how many tattoo's or what type of hairstyle you rocked...back then it wasn't like, hey, let's start a band cuz it's cool and give it a flashy band name or whatever, it was more of an alternative to what they couldn't do normally after sunset...skate. Someone picked up a guitar and started playing and singing,...and next thing they knew, they were all out jamming. The self-nominated drummer had two drum sets in the next few months and learned the theory of bashing skins and pancake sheetmetal rather than reading sheet music.

Hell, none of them knew anything about music theory or classical training. As a band, they basically had no idea what a music scene was either. The only thing they knew about music was that it co-related with skateboarding videos. There was no actual physical contact with a music scene and how it was orchestrated, so they didn't know what or how a music scene suppossed to be, so they did things the way they did and it naturally progressed.

This mesh of sub-cultural art, skateboarding and music, quickly became a means of self-expression for the members. They started out playing the music they saw on skate videos and cassette tapes that was available pre-internet days. Majority of it was when Fat Wreck Chords and Nitro Records blew up. Bands like Strung Out, Face to Face, NOFX, Good Riddance, Green Day, Offspring, Pennywise, Blink 182, No Use For A Name and even Bad Religion were starting to get even more international coverage, and mail ordering started to become popular and so their albums ended up on Guam.

Since these great bands would never set foot on Guam to play a show, Low Tolerance decided to taken upon themselves to reach the masses of the island for them by playing these band's songs at local shows called "mosh parties", skate festivals, backyard bbq's, college night functions, birthdays, and even church parish halls with other local sub-cultural artists of the island like Ars Poetica, Anahiram, Grind, Rubbish, Sticky, The Bomb Squad, and many others. And sooner or later, they became part of a music scene without intending to be.

A few years later, the band went through some line up changes like any band does. And around the early millenium, the band decided to start writing more originals. Their set lists used to contain 1 or 2 original songs, but then that list grew as the band naturally fell into writing mode. They've written 9 songs all together as a band within one year, but only three made it to the sub-standard recording process successfully. Overall, they're sound was basically fast melodic progressive punk rock mixed with even more fast melodic progressive punk rock.

And in 2002, the band members simply decided to slowly fade into other hobbies and interests leaving only bits and pieces here and there of how they used to be just your neighborhood punk band w/out all the glam...unintentionally.
