About Me

about...
formed in 2003.the project's only member, GAVIN REIGN , drew upon the influences of NINE INCH NAILS, TOM WAITS, ALICE IN CHAINS, STONE TEMPLE PILOTS, and other monsters of rock to create an amalgam of sounds that would paint the picture that was his past, and also attempt to capture the quintessence of his present through bemoaning verses and wrathful choruses...all while using guitars, drums, synths, clarinets, loops, and the wrecking-ball that is his voice.

now...the band is complete; shows will ensue; carnage will run rampant. be prepared nyc...ZIPPERGRIN is hitting you first.
