Thoughts at an End

About Me

I'm a music geek. I've been invovled with music one way or the other since I was still in diapers. In 1992 I started an alternative/ Grunge Rock band called Payle. The bands members were Kevin Hadyl on drums, Matt Weeks on lead guitar, Nick Jenkins on bass and myself as singer and rythum guitarist. In 1993 Nick left the band and was replaced by various bassists. In 1997 the band split after high school and I kept the band name and went solo. I changed styles in music and In 1999 I released my first and only Industrial album "Broken Wings" through a local record label Dok Rok Records. In 2001 I self released my second album A Vision For You (Alternative Rock) under my own label name Vision Entertainment Group. In 2004 I released my third album "Pieces to Remember" under the new band name Thoughts at an End (Alternative Rock/ Synth Pop). In the summer of 2006 I will release my fourth album called "The Dividing Factor". It is going to be a double album with a great mix of electronical and rock music. Recently in March of 06' I've expanded my horizons and got together a live act including; Tom Batya on keys and guitar, Mark Cickavage on guitar and Glenn Hetrick on bass. Since then we've been on a sucessful run moving on to bigger, better and brighter things. Coming this fall we're going to tour in Canada starting in Toronto and possibly making our way west as far as to Vancouver. If we are in your neighborhood or you in ours come check us out at the updated posted venues we have on our site. Come join us in the fun. We are guaranteed to give you a Hell of a show!
