The Tearaways started in the early '80s in Santa Barbara (Calif.), when John Finseth formed a band with some friends to reflect their shared influences: The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Creedence Clearwater Revival, The Eagles, Jefferson Airplane, The Who, The Kinks, The Hollies, Squeeze, Tom Petty and Bob Dylan. Finseth recruited Greg Brallier (vocals/guitar), Dave Heckhouse (guitar), Jesse (drums) and Perry (keyboard) Benenati and later, John Ferriter (guitar/bass/vocals) and the band’s career began in earnest. In 1983, Ferriter left to form The Stingrays.
