About Me

CAIN's roots were never grounded of the same soil. Steming from influences from classic rock like BOSTON to bands such as PINK FLOYD, and even the bass driven sound of IRON MAIDEN.We've never shown limitation to our sound. The basic idea has always been melody. From the soft psychedelic to the heavy.....every song never escapes attention to detail.CAIN formed in April of 2003 when founder Josh Clark met now former bassist / keyboardist Nic Sturgill. Nic's girlfriend was a co-worker of Josh's at a gym in the Eastgate area. Josh had just finished recording a demo for the song BESIDE YOU only days before; and was eager to share it with anyone that would listen.Although Nic's musical background was of the Milford basement punk scene, he took an interest in the song, and more so just wanted to play in a band after his christian punk band, APM, decided to call it quits.With a handful of song's Josh had already written in the past year, CAIN, which is Josh's middle name started practicing almost every night of the week. Working on new basslines. Learning some of the old." It was frustrating trying to find band members ", recalls Nic. " People were either not dedicated to come to practice, or the didn't have a vehicle, or they were looking for a totally different style of music. "On August 31st of that year, CAIN went into the studio for the first time. Blindly throwing their money away on recordings that would never see completion. However, in the same building as CAIN was recording, they met drummer Kevin "KB" Brown, of SET THE CONTROLS." It was just like that " Josh remembered. " We were on our way to a session when we walked past SET THE CONTROLS's door. We all started talking about music and such. Nic and I busted out an accoustic version of SISTER STAIN. We have pretty much been a 3 peice ever since."2 years of playing out established CAiN as The only Cincinnati based band with a different line-up every show. Currently Josh Burgess Plays lead guitar, Nic Sturgil plays bass ( and still remains a slut ), and Josh Clark sings and plays guitar....Currently the band is also competing with Axle Rose and Chinese Democracy to see who can take the longest to release their debut album.....we're so poor......for booking info call 513-328-9073
