About Me

Just the Snare? It all began in a storage shed in Durham. Rock legends Patrick Reynolds, John Westly, and Tom Marshall had just finished writing the songs for their new CD when they encountered a problem. The songs were too good. If they were to record in a proper studio, the tracks would dominate the air waves and eliminate the need for other bands. To save the future of music, they decided to record it themselves in a storage shed. During the middle of one session, the music was so amazing that it blew a fuse and caused sparks to shower down upon the rock icons, burning the entire shed to the ground. From the wreckage, all that could be salvaged was a severely burned snare drum.After several weeks in the hospital, the members of Just the Snare? were released back into the world. While volunteering at a local orphanage, the trio was approached by a young child with tears in his eyes. You have to keep playing. Your music is what keeps me going. And those few words spoken by young Belvedere Ferguson are what keep Just the Snare? entertaining throngs of people the world around.Their style, you ask? Rock with a bit of blues and a dash of funk. You have to experience it first hand to truly understand.

Killed by Typhoid Beaver

What a sad day it is. Our arch-nemesis "Typhoid Beaver" got more plays on their myspace page today than we did. You've won this round Beaver...but we're not finished.

Fake accents

What's the deal with singers pronouncing words all funny? I hear this all the time, but 2 songs come to mind right away.   1. There is a terrible band on the radio called "Hinder." I am ashamed t...

It only takes one song

I keep hearing this song "Cable Car" by the Fray on the radio. I admit that I'm a sucker for pop music, and I like the song. I recently got a chance to listen to the entire album, and I was surpsised ...

What happened to you Steve?

So we had this dude named Steve come try out for the band. He was pretty dang good on rhythm guitar and could hold his own on vocals. Aside from being a huge racist, he seemed to be alright. So we had...

Tribute bands are retarded

   I saw this ad for a Weezer tribute band. I'm not gonna post their link cause I don't wanna support them. In the first place, I think the concept of forming a tribute band is absolutely re...

What a weird band

I was thinking about how strange it is that the three of us are in this band. I used to play with Daniel Brown in "Weapons of Mass Distraction," which actually began as a guitar duo. We put out some a...
