Band Members: Mike Vester - Vocals
16 years of rocking. Influenced by Morrison, Coverdale, Dokken, Tate, Bach, Cornell, Hetfield, Jovi and others as well as Guinness, Captain Morgans, Vodka, Red Bull, Chili, Deep Fried Chicken Sandwiches, Louisiana Hot Sauce, and sex! How does a lead singer change a light bulb?Beau Carbonneau - Bass
Beau oozes wanton sexuality...The cries of "show us your ass Beau," still echo in the clubs that he's played in. A true musician and student of his instrument, Beau fancies the likes of Tool, Rage, Slayer...anything rocking with an original vibe!Ricky "Rockin" Rolon - Guitars
Ricky is as smooth as they come when playing his 6 string on stage. Skolnik, Friedman, Lynch, Slash, and many more have influenced this shredder, but he has pulled together a style all his own. Ricky is a pandora's box of song ideas and riffs.Matt "Rock" Cowen - Drums
A perpetual metronome that keeps the band as tight as a...well, drum! Matt is tuned into music from the structure up and his days of jamming along with Tommy Lee and Neil Peart during the early days of learning has given him both energy, precision, and ingenuity on the throne.
Influences: A VERITABLE SMORGASBORD of rock, metal, progressive, classic, blues greats who would be too numerous to name, but will always be appreciated!
Sounds Like: One critic says though he finds the band to be truly in command of its sound, its instruments, etc...he finds that we write too wide a range of music stylistically speaking to be put in a rock, metal, prog metal, category.I think that's the good news. I don't know about you, but we don't wake up feeling the same way everyday...What's the fun in that? So, if music is a direct drip line to your feelings...your soul, then shouldn't you play what you are feeling that day?We agree...So, whether we wanna fight or wanna F*%@ or wanna fall somewhere in between, then we should let you know through our songs!Step off soap box...now!To answer the question, critics say we sound a little like all of these, Skid Row, Nevermore, Alice in Chains, Metallica, Soundgarden, Queensryche...
