About Me


My Weapon of Choice is a progressive/rock band from the St. Louis, MO area. The band is composed of Patrick McLeod – Vocals, Ryan Mills – Lead Guitar, Adam Arseneau – Percussion, and Jared Pratt – Bass Guitar. The band originally started playing together in 1999, but a handful of personnel changes along with a name change created what you see and hear today. The band has already found itself opening for national acts such as 30 Seconds to Mars and 10 Years. My Weapon of Choice has also been crowned local show final champions by 105.7 the Point along with being finalist in the Point’s battle for Pointfest.
The band recorded their demo album at Jupiter Studio’s in St. Louis, MO with engineer Jim Callahan (Story of the Year, Simple Plan, Nelly, Murphy Lee) in the winter of 05’. Their first single “Breathless” was recorded at Jupiter Studio’s with Steve Ewing, the former lead sing of the Urge (Immortal Records).
My Weapon of Choice has toured to many different parts of the region adding road awareness to their already extensive knowledge of the local scene. Look for the band’s first full length album in 07’.
“My Weapon of Choice crafts radio-ready rock that they claim sounds like Story of the Year, Lostprophets and Papa Roach. But judging from their songs (check’em out at myspace.com/myweaponofchoice), they’re better than those bands. “Breathless,” which they worked on with ex-Urge member Steve Ewing, is a catchy single with a dentist-drill guitar riff reminiscent of Offspring and largely no-screamo choruses whose harmonies are easy on the ears. File My Weapon of Choice under the better side of the Point’s modern-rock playlist.” - Annie Zaleski RFT Magazine
