Philadelphia's TRASHLIGHT VISION features MURDERDOLLS guitarist Acey Slade. The band joined forces with veteran Punk act the BUZZCOCKS for UK shows in the Spring of 2005. US touring saw package touring alongside BRIDES OF DESTRUCTION, ADEMA, and CHELSEA SMILES. UK "Birthday Blood Bath" gigs took the band through October and November.

TRASHLIGHT VISION lined up shows for October 2006 alongside 45 GRAVE but these would be curtailed on October 16th when Acey Slade was reportedly attacked from behind and hit several times in the head with a beer bottle inside the bar where the band had just performed. The singer was treated for a concussion and lacerations to the head at UNC hospital in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Slade continued to perform with the band for the next two nights but blood and fluid on his ear drum subsequently progressed into an infection, forcing the band off the remaining dates. EVO Recordings gave debut album 'Alibis And Ammunition' a US domestic release on November 14th 2006.
