About Me

The Migraines music is best described as equal parts 70's and 80's metal, 90's alternative, and current commercial radio metal with a dose of punk aggression. The Migraines consistently played countless venues across the U.S., regularly opening for major label touring acts. The Migraines formed as a secular punk rock band in 1992, becoming a Christian band in 1999 when vocalist, guitarist and founding member, Shawn Browning rededicated his life to Jesus Christ, changing the focus of the band. The band members strived to make their daily lives their strongest witness.
On December 30th, 2007, The Migraines played their final show to a packed house at Crazy Pinz in Fort Wayne.
The Migraines would like to thank our families, friends, and fans all over the world for an incredible 15 year ride!
Mostly, The Migraines would like to give all glory, praise and honor to our triune God; Father, Spirit, Son through whom all things are possible!
Adios, Amigos!

Member Since: 9/16/2004
Band Website: themigraines.com
Band Members: Shawn Browning- vocals, guitars

Influences: Our greatest influence is JESUS CHRIST, our Lord and Savior.

We are also greatly influenced by the infallable, life changing word of God. May the sample of God's word below bless your day.

Musically, we all have very different influences. Sometimes our influences overlap, sometimes we hate each other's music. DH can't stomache Bon Jovi, but Greg likes to serenade (read as: torture) him with Bon Jovi songs at 3:00 A.M. whilst tooling down the highway.
