Pissing Razors history in El Paso can be traced back to Rodriguez and Lynch's tenure with 90's metal band Sadist, the band folding when their singer joined the Navy. Lynch founded the soon to be titled Pissing Razors with Eddie Garcia on drums, his brother on bass and vocalist Loco Pelon. Rodrigues supplanted Pelon in 1995 as the band toured America with Stuck Mojo and Pro-Pain. The band toured Europe and America as support to Pro-Pain during early 1998.
Pissing Razors would pull in new vocalist Jason Bragg for a 2001 album 'Where We Come From' for their new label Spitfire Records. The group would embark on a further round of American dates in 2002, headlined by Cannibal Corpse and billed alongside Dark Funeral and Incantation, commencing on the 24th April in Los Angeles. Bragg pulled out in October and was swiftly replaced by Andre Acosta. The band had previously announced plans to tour with Skinlab, Dope, and Primer 55 throughout the winter but curtailed these shows due to the vocalist change. A further blow came in quick succession as within days of Bragg's exit guitarist Cesar Soto too left the band. Citing personal differences Soto almost immediately unveiled plans for a fresh act entitled Fueled II Fire, featuring none other than erstwhile Pissing Razors personnel singer Joe Rodriguez and guitarist Matt Lynch alongside former Angelburn bassist Hector Gallardo and drummer Danny Contreras of Wick=War=Burn.
Pissing Razors pulled in ex-Single Bullet Theory guitarist Matt Difabio during November. A new studio album, billed as 'Evolution', was set for April 2003 issue and promoted with a North American tour that saw the group allied with 40 Grit, Society 1 and Luxt. In August it was learned that the Pissing Razors rhythm section of bassist Rick Valles and drummer Eddy Garcia had united in a side project band with the Skinlab pairing of vocalist Steve Esquivel and guitarist Steve Green.
Guitarist Matt Difabio bailed out in February of 2004, his priorities with Single Bullet Theory taking precedence. Ex-singer Jason Bragg forged Drip Licorice. In August it would be announced that Pissing Razors bassist Rick Vallez would be handling all guitar duties for Ministry.
In mid August 2005 frontman Andre Acosta announced he had joined forces with Single Bullet Theory guitarist Matt Difabio in a new band unit dubbed Preface. Also involved would be John Chernoski on guitar, Jason Dunkerly on drums and Bill Mez on bass.

Pissing Razors Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Several lifelines of pain
Haven't seen your eyes
'Cause I haven't seen your
'Cause I haven't seen your face
I feel you sleeping, I feel you sigh
I'm your father
How could I have done this
I hope you can forgive
I'm living with the anguish
Maybe one day
Maybe one day you'll understand
I feel you breathing, I feel you cry
I'm your father
Your heart I carry with me inside
Eight days remain
Eight days of pain
I live with the anguish
My head retains strength
Feeling I have failed
So much I have to gain
Nothing could compare
To the life I put in
To the life I put in place

One month separation
It has been a month since we last saw each other
Several lifelines of pain
It has been a painful time for both of us
Haven't seen your eyes
I miss looking into your eyes
'Cause I haven't seen your
I miss you in general
'Cause I haven't seen your face
I miss seeing your face
I feel you sleeping, I feel you sigh
Even though we're apart, I feel connected to you
I'm your father
I have a special connection to you
It's tearing me apart inside
Being away from you is causing me emotional pain
How could I have done this
I am questioning my decisions and actions
I hope you can forgive
I want you to know that I'm sorry
I'm living with the anguish
I am struggling with the emotional pain
Maybe one day
In the future
Maybe one day you'll understand
I hope you'll be able to understand my choices someday
I feel you breathing, I feel you cry
I am still connected to you and can sense your emotions
Your heart I carry with me inside
I keep your love and memory close to me
Eight days remain
There are only eight days left until we see each other again
Eight days of pain
The anticipation and waiting are also painful
My head retains strength
I am holding onto my mental fortitude
Feeling I have failed
I am struggling with feeling like I've let you down
So much I have to gain
I know that there is so much ahead for us
Nothing could compare
The love and connection we share cannot be replicated
To the life I put in
I have invested so much into our relationship
To the life I put in place
The life we have built together is precious to me
