About Me

The songs on here are my other styles of music . Live, I play guitar in the hardcore band " TOXIC REASONS".We are still playing out at this time. Now for the bio on me." Born in FRANKFURT, GERMANY". I got into music at an early age. My mother is German and my father is American. My mother taught me guitar at the age of 10. I listened to a lot of Motown and Hendrix as well as the Beatles. I later was introduced to other types of music. I played in my first band when I was 15 in Missouri. Later I moved to El Paso and played in some bands. I ended up in '83 in Germany again where I started playing in some bands in Frankfurt. I played with ROCKAINE and later MALLET .You can go to mallet.de and check out the history section . Later I ended up in Heidelberg where I played with SHOT and SCARLET ROSE. I watched a lot of metal bands through the years while I lived there. I wrote a song on an album for a band called PINK CREAM 69 who were signed to CBS/Epic at the time. I was playing in a band called OVERDOSE KIDS at the same time I was writing stuff. Around '88 I saw a band called TOXIC REASONS in Germany and would later join the band after moving back to Indianapolis, IN where I reside now. Also I was in the bands SHINDIG and EDGAR STRANGE in Indianapolis in the early 90`s. I am currently playing in TOXIC REASONS which features the 2 original remaining members Bruce Stuckey and JJ Pearson. Just search Toxic Reasons on any search engine.Toxic Reasons started in '79 with members from Dayton, OH. Later, they moved to San Francisco where at that time they had members from the US, England and Canada in the band. They played with the likes of Dead Kennedys, Social Distortion, Black Flag, D.O.A., Bad Religion, The Ramones, Motorhead, MDC, White Zombie and many more. We are currently writing new material for a new Toxic Reasons album.You can also go to mp3unsigned.com and search "Kurt Harley" for more of my music.The music for "Lost" was written and performed by CONTAYJEN with me writing and performing the vocals. Also, he's helped on the Katrina song which Bruce Stuckey and I wrote. A State of Grace was originally performed by Toxic Reasons which I'm currently playing guitar in. The version on this site is my acoustic version of the original song. . I hope everyone enjoys this.Please Check out my friends CONTAYJEN, ESSENCE and RED SHIRT THEORY as I have collaborated with them also. Enjoy!!!
