I have been playing guitar for somewhere in the neighborhood of 14 years or so. I have been involved with music most of my life. I played in a few different bands in high school and I used to sing for the band Promise of Tomorrow. I just recently moved from my home town of Toledo, OH out to Los Angeles for a job and to get a change of scenery. I kind of have a philosophy when it comes to music, well my music anyway. I believe that in general, what makes a song truly great is when anyone can listen to it and somehow relate their life to it. Not saying that my songs are "truly great" but that is the way that I try and write. When I was singing for Promise of Tomorrow, I had a few of our fans come up to me and tell me that they could really relate to my lyrics or relate in some way to our songs and to me, that was the whole reason for doing it. The fact that someone could genuinely appreciate my lyrics and our songs was very humbling. So I hope that when you listen to my songs you will feel that same way and that you can somehow relate to it. And if not, I hope that you can just enjoy it for what it is.I also wanted to say thank you to Ryan Wayton and Vivec Studios for making The Perfect Disaster such a great recording.I also wanted to thank Aaron Carpenter for the photos.

Member Since: 1/10/2006
Band Members: Garrett Warren: Lyrics, Vocals and Guitars
Influences: I am not going to give the miss america answer and say that I listen to everything because no one listens to everything. But I do believe that a truly great musician is someone who can appreciate all types of music from all sorts of genres. So here is what I am into. I really dig Taking Back Sunday, Imogen Heap, Damien Rice, Atreyu, DragonForce, Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennet, Anduze, The Broadways, Old School Metallica, The Separation Tree, We Are The Fury, Rediscover, Styles of Beyond, Paul Oakenfold, BT, The Kooks, The Decemberists, The New Amsterdams, Dustin Kensrue, Mos Def, Thrice, Rise Against, Talib Kweli, Face to Face, Sasha, Frou Frou, Bloc Party, Coheed & Cambria, Counting Crows, Bruce Springsteen, Elton John, The Honorary Title, Linkin Park, Katie Stanko, Pat Watkins, Jimmy Eat World, The Devil And The Executive, Propagandhi, The Postal Service, Jack's Manniquin, and Colin Hay, I am sure that there are many more artists that have somehow squeeked their way into my style.
