Instigator

About Me

We all have humble beginnings in the suburban prairie of north central Illinois, now rocking it to you from a stage or garage or whatever near you! Instigator began in June 2006 with Steve bringing to life the start of a new musical movement within Kendall podunk County. In October of '06 they were joined by ROLL MUSIC pioneer Johnny Hostile, and August '07 joined by Ohnar from Mother Russia on drums thus... INSTIGATOR.Although we all find it restrictive to label ourselves acording to the guidelines of one particular genre, as all three of us are fans of most all music in general, you could say that PUNK ROCK and ROLL is what we do my friends.

And a little bit of real stuff.

Well, if you read the latest "real" blog, you'll find that Instigator is no longer with a drummer.  There are quite a few things that go into this, but ultimately, no hard feelings towards Stregn...
