About Me

In 1993, bassist/songwriter Jason "DURB" Durbin and drummer Brian Holland moved from Kettle Falls, WA. to Spokane, WA. and hooked up with guitarist Sean Van Blaricom to form Wicked Stitch. With Durb's best friend Krush Kulesza on lead vocals, they played their first show then disbanded. Durb and Sean were determined to keep the project going, so they hooked up with drummer Chad Burk and vocalist Forest Violette and released their self-titled debut e.p. But this lineup didn't stay together for very long either. Durb and Sean then hooked up with drummer Silas McQuain and vocalist/guitarist Tyler Freeman and released their 2nd e.p. titled "Wasted Space". They gigged locally, then disbanded. Brian Holland and Forest Violette rejoined the band and they put out their critically acclaimed e.p. titled "Serpent Love" followed by the live album "Belligerent". They parted company with Forest shortly thereafter. Durb, being born to be a frontman, took over the vocal duties, and they released "Killswitch" to rave reviews, followed by sold-out shows. Then in 2002 they recruited vocalist Bret Allen, and put out the amazing "Scrap Metal" album. In 2003 they put out the "Rivers Of Mars" album, with Durb playing all the instruments except drums and guitar solos, after which they've taken a much needed sabbatical!They have recently regrouped with a new lineup and started playing successful shows without missing a beat. The Wicked Stitch discography: "Wicked Stitch" (1995); "Wasted Space" (1997); "Serpent Love" (1998); "Belligerent" (1999); "Killswitch" (2001); "Scrap Metal" (2002); "Rivers Of Mars" (2003). Below, there are links to sites dedicated to each Wicked Stitch album, if you are interested in hearing more music. I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
