    History



    Formation (1981–1985) and Guilty as Charged


    Culprit was the result of a merger between two Seattle area bands named Orpheus and Amethyst in 1981.[1] Guitarist John DeVol, bassist Scott Earl, and drummer Bud Burrill played in Orpheus while vocalist Jeff L'Heureux and guitarist Kjartan Kristoffersen were in Amethyst. These five musicians first came together when their respective bands played at a mutual gig. They later got together with plans on forming a new band, which they ultimately named Culprit.This new band got their first taste of success in 1982 when their debut song "Players" was selected on Shrapnel Records' U.S. Metal, Vol. 2 compilation.[1] Shortly afterward, Culprit signed a proper recording contract with Shrapnel and began work on their debut album.


    In 1983, Culprit released their first and only album thus far Guilty as Charged to much critical acclaim. Eduardo Rivadavia of Allmusic gave the album four and a half stars, calling it "a lost gem of American metal from the 1980s, and well worth seeking out for fans of other bands from the period." [2] Scott Earl left the band in 1984 and the band broke up soon after.



    Post-break-up and reunion (1986–present)


    Following the break-up, L'Heureux became lead vocalist for the band Mistrust[1][3] while Kristoffersen and Earl joined the band TKO, appearing on their third album Below the Belt,[1][4] then relocated to Hollywood, California and fromed The Bang Gang, which released Love Sells in 1992 om Sinclair/MCA Records.


    In 2000, Guilty as Charged was re-released on CD for the first time through Hellion Records. The original lineup has reunited on various occasions for one-off shows, most recently in 2001.[1] In 2005, they released a compilation album of rarities titled Innocent 'Til Proven Guilty.[5]

    Volkswagen Group MQB platform

    Image
    The Volkswagen Group MQB platform is the company's strategy for shared modular design construction of its transverse, front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout (optional front-engine, four-wheel-drive layout) automobiles. Volkswagen spent roughly $60bn [1] developing this new platform and the cars employing it. The platform underpins a wide range of cars from the supermini class to the mid size SUV class. MQB allows Volkswagen to assemble any of its cars based on this platform across all of its MQB ready factories. This allows the Volkswagen group flexibility to shift production as needed between its different factories. Beginning in 2012, Volkswagen Group marketed the strategy under the code name MQB , which stands for Modularer Querbaukasten , translating from German to "Modular Transversal Toolkit" or "Modular Transverse Matrix". [2] [3] MQB is one strategy within VW's overall MB (Modularer Baukasten or modular matrix) program which also includes th...
