Lääz Rockit was actually founded as Depth Charge in 1981 in Berkeley, California before changing names. The monicker was inspired by the weapon (LAWS [Light Anti Tank System] rocket) used by Clint Eastwood/Dirty Harry in the film The Enforcer in 1976. The band issued a demo called Prelude To Death in 1983.

The band specialized in heavy and speed metal amidst sea of Bay Area thrashers in San Francisco. The band would actually open for the odd glam band and would sign with Target Records. The band would support the album on several shows with Exciter. The group would not land any major tours, although would make it to Europe to play with Motörhead in 1986.

Guitarist Scott Sargeant and bassist Scott Dominguez would join in 1991, while former guitarist Savitch would make it to Chicago and underground favourites Sindrome just in time for that band to effuse an offer from Roadrunner Records. The group, in the meanwhile, would sign to Roadrunner Records and be virtually ignored by the label. The band would fail to grow commercially and would change its name and sound to become Gack. This band would issue an album called Fix. Unfortunately, the reverse would happen and the group would disband. Chavarri would disrespect the band’s name and legacy by going mallcore in Ill Nino. Still, The band’s line-up of mainstay Mike Coons, guitarists Aaron Jellum and Phil Kettner, bassist Willy Lange and Victor Alexander Agnello was reunited to play at the reformed Dynamo festival in 2005 in The Netherlands. A slotted appearance at the Thrash Of The Titans benefit concert for Chuck Billy would be cancelled without explanation. The group would also play the Thrash Against Cancer show in its hometown next to Testament, Agent Steel, Vicious Rumors and others. The group would have OSM Records reissue its first two albums and also release a DVD of the band called Live Untold in 2006. Torres had joined Heathen in 2004.

Lääz Rockit members seemingly fuel and power many a other act even if the band itself hardly had much success in its heyday.
