Violent New Breed

About Me

Violent New Breed (VNB) was created by the team of Andre Filardo (A New January singer/writer/programmer) and Kevin Randol (50 fathoms / Crippletown singer/writer) sharing a need for a strong industrial sound. The team completed writing but still needed the right individuals to perform live and record. After searching for the right match, the first match walked right into the bar. Marcus Eliopulos (ex-Stabbing Westward guitarist) was a much needed addition to the creative mix. Coming into the group with a great deal of studio and live experience. Marcus' style matched extremely well with the direction of the music. Andre and Marcus meshed very well and complimented each others style and continued to strengthen VNB. But with Andre's growing needs for more time and being such a focal point for two bands a new member was needed. Enter Darren Hooper (Gaza Strippers bass player) another well rounded addition. Darren not only brought his experience of playing live but added a different perspective. Darren being the only member never to have been a part of an industrial project, introduced new ideas and directions for the songs to take. Now with Marcus, Andre, Darren and Kevin handling the writing and recording, one addition was made for live performances. Rob Jeremias was added as an audio specialist. Rob's style is one of a kind and a great personality to have included in the project.
