About Me

Nick is a neurotic sociopath, dayne is a cynical hypochondriac, jon is a naive idealist, and brent asks too many questions. They somehow make it work.

Arson is Thorn Vs. Side's labor of love, recorded over the winter of 05-06 at Maximedia Studios in Dallas by veteran producer Michael Havens who has worked with many artists including The Polyphonic Spree, Vanilla Ice, and Chamillionare. It was mastered in New York by Alan Douches (Jets to Brazil, Mastodon, Converge). Arson is a shining display of Thorn Vs. Sides brand of technical power-rock, whose soaring harmonies and lyrical nods to literature fit comfortably with the likes of Jawbreaker, Alkaline Trio, and Samiam.
