Communis Demonstro
We are a three-person rock ensemble hailing from Denton, TX. We strive to play intelligent music that utilizes highly active drumming methods, melodically progressive bass lines, a thickly distorted core of grunge harmonies, lyrics to twist your mind, and vocals that slice into your skull. We write music to express the anxiety of a society more often than the angst of the individual, satisfying our desire for purpose. Our pieces cross a broad spectrum of sound texture and poetic material to fulfill our goal for a diverse repertoire.We will demolish your house party, we will flood at your pool party, and we will desecrate Grandma Pammy's funeral. We will rock your club, we will level your bar, and a fine will be given for building occupanacy overload!
"A good song should make you want to tap your feet and get with your girl. A great song should destroy cop cars and set fire to the suburbs." - Tom Morello

What is Sententia? What is Dementia?
Ab Initio:
After years of playing in ragtag cover bands, singer/songwriter Wil Boykin and drummer Jon O'brien decided to team together and recover some sound from the five-year-old wreckage of Wil's stagnant solo project. A powerful chemistry developed after only a few sessions and a full hour set list highlighting their work ethic developed almost immediately. The two went six months auditioning bassists trying to find the perfect match and in early May 2007 recruited Mike Simanonok for an upcoming performance at Bruce Hall's Bruce Jam Music Festival 2007. A cohesive unit was forged exemplifying the importance of a deep musical connection, work ethic, and friendship while tying together varying influences into a single goal. A drummer influenced by Mike Portnoy (Dream Theatre) and Chris Tsagakis (RX Bandits), a songwriter with influences by Thom Yorke (Radiohead) and Billy Corgan (The Smashing Pumpkins), and a bassist who is musically inspired by Teppei Teranishi (Thrice) and Brandin Lea (Flickerstick), Sententia Dementia is a unique and easy escape from the mundane radio-rock of the present.Grandis Virtus:
