About Me


NEW 'URBAN REFORM' EP AVAILABLE NOW!
10 Songs. 17 minutes long. Available for FREE download at www.mevseverybody.com!
MvsE was formed (inadvertantly) on Sept 11th, 2001. Originally consisting of 8Ball (vox), Rob Claiborne (bass), Nic Beatty (guitar), and Mikhail Amartseff (drums), the band hailed from Monterey, CA. After multiple line-up changes, 1 EP, and numerous gigs, 8Ball moved to Austin, TX in order to focus more on his music and artwork.
After a few months, there was a new local lineup: 8Ball (Vox), Marty (Bass, Noise)., Rob (Guitar), and Nester (Drums). We finished the band's 2nd 10 song EP, "URBAN REFORM". After a slew of local gigs, Nester left the band and we recruited Josh for drums. We then embarked on a 2 week Southwestern tour. The sound and lineup has changed but the band stuck to it's roots: oldschool, hardcore, punk rock. Comparisons of the new sound bring up Negative Approach, DRI, Poison Idea, to name a few.
With the leave of Josh to Japan to teach hot little Japanese schoolgirls english, MvE stagnated. Robert and Marty hooked up with Nester and Orion (Blood of Patriots) to form "THE BROWNSTARS". Currently, MvE is going through a line-up change to continue playing.On a sidenote: "Die, Fucker, Die!" and "Searching" is from the first s/t EP while the other songs are from the URBAN REFORM EP. Thought I'd put up the new stuff for all you MvE junkies..
