About Me

If you have had the unfortunate experience of living in Southern Indiana for the last 10 years, or so, then you probably have seen every member of Depoyster playing in one band or another. Joshua's Window, Ruck, Mac Schultz Trio, The Numb, Sol 17, and well, the list goes on. Despite the level of fortune and fame we have all achieved, we remain humble and approachable...Ok I'm making that bit up. We all work crappy day jobs just like everyone else. Essentially we are trying to combine four guys very different musical styles to make something at least somewhat new and natural. We have no desire to sound like alt. country, "indie", metal, punk, funk, or anything else. We simply throw it all at the wall and see what sticks. While we are trying to make some new sounds, we are not scared to steal a bit from Zep or The Beatles or anyone else we've heard. Rock and Roll has a long tradition of "borrowing" and we carry the torch, but hopefully in a new direction. If your waiting for me to suggest to you what we sound like...I would suggest you listen to the tunes- they say more than I ever could.

If you lived here, right now you'd be home!

As I write this, we are recording splendid rock that will surely steal from the poor and give to the rich.  Another night of Jon, Donnie, and myself (destroyer) packed in the basement plotting wo...
