Michael and Justin met on the internet, of all places (fancy that!) when Justin put out an ad for himself as an available drummer. They realized that the internet could be a scary place to meet folks, but when you love to play music, no place is too scary to find the perfict gig. Michael (who plays guitar) called quickly, having read that Justin had been influenced by Jerry Gaskill, among other noteable drummers in the rock and roll world. They found that they had many common musical influences, and, further more, that they also enjoyed playing music together, that being the primary goal of a band and all.
Michael had already written a bunch of songs, which he brought with him. They learned to play those together. Then, Justin pulled one out of a very special place. After that they wrote a couple more together, and there they were. Ready to be Rock Stars.
