About Me

New Drummer: We are very pleased to announce that our new drummer is none other than the very talented Austin Faxon. Currently, Austin is also a member of The Groucho Marxists and The Stuntcocks . Austin has also been a member of Boss Jim Gettys , Love Gas, and Mars Needs Women , and he has also performed with Nudeswirl and Bongo Surf .
Mike Kinsey is currently performing with 8 Ohm Driver , Sadpunk , and Third Sun .
Billy Perez is no longer performing with Felon since he has become ever more busy with The Love Trilogy .
The guys in Felon first decided to get together for a friendly jam in late August of 2003, each of which had come from differing bands and situations out of the New Brunswick scene. Tom had previously jammed in a bunch of bands with drummer Mike Kinsey for the last 17 years since 1990, including Squalor, Tommy Took Acid, Katemoss, and Chris Harford and the Band of Changes . Mike and Tom still find time for a SQUALOR show with Chris Harford and Eric Barnett( Points North , ex-Tommy Took Acid) every now and then as well. Tom is also a member of Horsy (1999 - 2000, 2004 - current, although Horsy is currently on hiatus). Deem Shahidi had jammed with Tom for a couple of years in 8 Ohm Driver in the mid 90’s, and Mike is currently also jamming with Deem in 8 Ohm. Deem is also a founding member of the Stuntcocks aka "Joey Stuntcock". Billy Perez and Tom had also done some work together back in 2002. Billy is also a member of The Love Trilogy and Meet Me in Montauk . The band brings together a diverse background of influences and experiences from each member’s lives and backgrounds.
Felon combines the twin guitar attack with a sound that continues in the tradtions of Heavy Rock without boundaries, combining Rock, Metal, Punk, Alternative, Hard Rock, Stoner Rock, and whatever else may enter into the mix, and a drummer that pushes the envelope.
BTW, the tunes uploaded here are live and very raw from our last gig at The Court Tavern.
