'''Nuclear Theory'''
Somewhere in the middle 1990's (probably around 1995-96), John found himself in New London, Connecticut at this time after the release and tour supporting Nuclear Assualt's album "[[Something Wicked]]". He formed a new solo project combining the names of his previous solo project and Nuclear Assault, with the premise being that the band would concentrate on work from both as well as work on new material. Local musicians Pat Vitagliano (lead guitar), Tony O'Brien (bass), and Tom Maynard (drummer). <!--Senslis Killin'-->
The new material was heavy guitar oriented music combining elements of punk, thrash, and speed metal with some blues thrown in occasionally. The setlist contained the songs "L. H. A", "Aggressive", "7/8 Solution" from '''[[John Connelly Theory]]''' and "Another Violent End", "Behind Glass Walls" and "Hang The Pope" from '''Nuclear Assault''''s catalog. During September of 1996, Pat left. <!---Tom Maynard recruited another local musician,---> Chris Boix took over lead guitar.
Nuclear Theory opened for [[Brutal Truth]] in December of 1996, with [[Dan Lilker]] joining in for "Hang the Pope". The band relocated to Pawcatuck, CT.
On May 14, 1997 John reunited with [[Glenn Evans]], [[Dan Lilker]] and [[Anthony Bramante]] for one Nuclear Assault show at the Colosseum in Manchester, NH. Also in early 1997, Nuclear Theory played at the Living Room in Providence, RI. Both of these shows were made possible with the help of Eric Paone of Candy Striper Death Orgy.
