About Me

I grew up around Pittsburgh where I continue to reside today(not exactly a great city for a "metalhead").Recently me and my bandmates THE DOUGLASS BROTHERS released our first full length CD titled "STILL IN THE BASEMENT in October of 2006 and followed it up with the 4 song EP "FULL TILT BOOGIE" featuring the critically acclaimed song "Cristina" (or as it known to our Dougheads as "The Steven Seagal Song"). It's quite a change from the metal I'm accustomed to play but my influences can still be heard in the music(and most of all in the guitar solos). I would love to get back in a "power metal" band but it's almost impossible to find one in Pittsburgh.SHRED ON!!!

PITTSBURGH: No Place For Metal

I find it a little ironic that the nickname for Pittsburgh is "The Steel City" considering there is no metal in it. Let's face it unless you are a knuckle-dragging beer drinking primitive football fan...
