Jess:
Lead Singer:
-I am the lead singer for AFFLICTION. We started the band awhile ago thanks to a great friend Scott Bever..we went our separate ways but, here we are once again! ENJOY THE RIDE!
-I started singing when I was young, competed all throughout school had my first band when I was 14 years old. Music is my passion, my life. My mind is constantly going no matter what. Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night and have to write lyrics down so I won't forget them..I'm a dork. Proud of it. I sing what I want, what I feel and whatever is pissing me off or bothering me at the time or from the past just comes out. It really doesn't matter whatever spins through my head comes out my mouth. I suffer from DIARRHEA of the mouth actually.
-I play guitar and have for 10 years now. I'm not very good at it so I leave that to the guys of AFFLICTION. Love you guys. This family has grown and I love all of you. We make a good team!
-I really don't know about influences honestly. I have my faves no doubt but, I really don't sing or try to be in the style of anyone but, well, myself. I do have to say that I love The Doors, Jim Morrison lyrical genius. KoRn, gotta love them. TOOL, yeah what more needs to be said about them.
Charlie:
Guitarist:
-I started playing guitar when i was 15, since i'm left handed it made it difficult because left handed guitars are hard to find on pawn shop budget. I really didnt care if i had to learn backwards as long as i could play. I spent most of my time since then just playing anything that caught my ear. It wasnt till I met Jess, he asked me if i wanted to be in a band, once i got in everything just seemed to come naturally, like there was a force bringing us together. I've been inspired by Affliction, I love you guys!!
Scott:
Drummer:
-Scott aka Fucking (DudeNasty) Incredible I started playing drums when i was 2 years old ,I grew up around a musical family. I can play most instruments. By time I was 6 years old I had drums, bass, and a guitar with loud amps in my room. I was like 8 years old when i started my first band and I've been in too many to count since then. I would list some musical influence but the list would be a mile long. I was hanging with affliction for wile cause this music is the shit, I love it so when the opportunity came along and they ask me to play for them i jumped in head first. I'm exited to bring new thunder into this amazing band! If any you want to no why they call me Fucking (DudeNasty) Incredible ask me In person because there is hole story behind the nick name.!!

Dane:
Bass:
-Don't let the picture confuse you i am a nice and happy person.I am the Bassist and youngest member of Affliction.i started playing drums at age 8 however i am a rounded musician, i can play just about anything i get the chance to learn.I am the only musically driven person in my family which made it hard for me to really get into playing.in high school i played drums in the school jazz band and just kinda jammed with a couple friends here and there no one would take starting a band seriously and then one day out of the blue Affliction asked me if i was interested in learning a song kinda like an audition it went pretty damn good.i used to come and watch the band play whenever i could and to be given the chance to play and just be around these people is a dream come true and is exactly what i wanted.as far as my influences go i listen to all kinds of music from slipknot to all Psychopathic records to just about anything you can bob your head to.i love this band and everyone in it.you guys are all family thank you..
