About Me

The Rejects were formed in Jonny's garage early 2002. It started out with Jonny and Rich. They found this little 12 year old drummer by the name of chris, and got Rich's friend Byron to play bass. As time went on Rich and Jonny realized that they needed more out of their drummer and found that in their friend Ben (who is currently drumming for Fred's Fear). Byron was eventually let go from the band and replaced by Jonny's friend Chris. The band stayed as this solid 4 peice for quite awhile untill Ben decided that he could no longer juggle both the Rejects, and Fred's Fear.From that point it seemed like the Rejects were finished untill a saving grace came in the form of Tyler Kingston. The band met Ty at the beach on day, and a few days later Rich saw him playing his gutair at their school. Immediatly Rich swooped up the taleneted young lad, and had him playing with the Rejects in no time. Now the band had Ty on gutair, Chris on bass, Rich on drums, and Jonny still screaming himself blue in the face on the mic.The band stayed this way for a few months, then they finally found that last peice to the puzzle.... a mexican named Willie. His drumming skill, and comedic attitude fit right into the Reject mix. This brought Richard back onto rhythm guitar, and the boys stayed as this solid 5 peice for about a year. Eventually Tyler left the band to focus on his other project Halo Horizion (for wich rich played the drums in for a few months) and the boys left on a good note.The Rejects were then left without a lead guitarist, but that was soon remidied by a boy knowen simply as "Fuzz". This shy boys insane guitar skill was immmediatly recognized, and the boys scooped him up and have kept him as thier own. This line up stayed strong for about 6 months when the Infamous Chris Reject had to depart from the band due to personal reasons. This was a rough time for the boys, having to say good-bye to one of the oldest memebers of the Rejects, but life went on, and Chris still comes around every now and then to see how things are going.Enter "GERMS" and outgoing young lad, who's emmense musical knowledge (not to mention space to jam, and just a wicked guy all togeather) grabed the Boys attention and they havn't let him go. Thus bringing us to the end of this Reject tale. The boys are still playing, writing, and recording. As strong today as the day they started way back in Jonny's Garage.
