SYMATIC was formed in late 2003 from the ashes of GARAGE BAND RECORDS favorite BEWKENHEIMER, from Worcester Massachusetts. CLARK BROWN (lead vocals, guitar) and ANDREW HOLMES (lead guitar, backing vocals) recruited old friends JAKE O'CONNOR (bass, backing vocals) and CRAIG MAC DONALD (drums) to put a band together. The four wrote and rehearsed, and played some shows together. Then, in the autumn of 2004 Clark took some time off to record vocals for an album with GEEZER BUTLER of BLACK SABBATH. This would be Clark's second time in the studio with the legendary bassist. During this down time, Jake and Andy decided to ask another old friend from the scene PAUL REYNOLDS (lead guitar, backing vocals) to join. Paul's addition to the band allows Clark to focus more on vocals. SYMATIC continues to play shows, write material, and network the band as they prepare to shop for a recording deal.CLARK BROWN (lead vocals, guitar),
