History
The band's history can be traced back to the 1990s, where the band members would often collaborate - such as Senen "Sen Dog" Reyes and Billy Biohazard performing on Biohazard's State Of The World Address album with the hit single How it is, or Wolbers and Lozano appearing in Cypress Hill albums Skull & Bones and Stoned Raiders. In 2015, Roy Lozano played some demos to Senen Reyes on a ride to the airport, setting the foundations for Powerflo.[2]
The name of the band comes from a comment Lozano made about Reyes's vocal tracking for the upcoming album.

On May 2, 2017, they released the first single "Resistance" via Metal Injection.[3] In launching the first single, Reyes indicated that this is a long term project and that future Powerflo albums will be released after their self-titled Produced by Billy Graziadei and Josh Lynch is released, while also announcing a June 23 release date.
On June 2, 2017, Powerflo released their next music video (directed by Graziadei) for "Victims of Circumstance", a song influenced by the TV series The First 48.[4] At the same time, they announced their first show at The Viper Room in Los Angeles on June 15. On May 31, "Resistance" was chosen as the official theme song for WWE NXT's programming.[5]
