Wasted Thrasher

the mighty metal axe slinger

About Me

I am a total guitar nerd who practices way too damn much (even at a party i practice), a wanna be rock star, and a big dork who was born and raised on a big farm right here in Indiana. I played guitar in many bands. The first was Kamel Tow which sounded like Pink Floyd meets RATM. The second was a thrashy punk band called the Splatter punx, think slayer meets exploited meets the casualties meets metallica. Then I played for Perfect Nothing which signed little record deal with Roadrunner but ended up fucking us all over. They were very unique with a female and male dualing vocals, think way artsy nu metal. Now I play in two bands. One is Wasteland DC, think crust punk with a virtuoso guitar playing. The other is a death metal core band called Year of Desolation. Other than the bands i work my ass off every day at my shit hole job so ican have fun on the weekends.
