About Ryan: Ryan Colichio, born in E. Patchogue NY, on January 29, 1989. Started druming as soon as I was born. Began to be a percussionist in the 4th grade and gradually started to realize that I couldnt picture my self doing anything else. Around the age of thirteen I picked up my first drum kit and I havent stopped playing it to this day. As i grew older and as a musician the people that I have meet and played with over the years have only influenced me even more to continue my passion

About J: Jason Horbal, born on July 31, 1987 in Brookhaven, NY got the edge to pick up a bass in 2000 after witnessing John Entwistle, of The Who, live. The likes of Gene Simmons solo antics, and the tones to Duff McKagan's rig is what keeps J hooked on bass daily. He took up playing guitar and drums as well back in 2003, choosing not to join or start a band and rather stay solo until he found people of simliar influences. He was contacted by Incandescent member, Frank, and wound up landing the bass gig. Since he has been cracking down and focusing solely on the bass guitar.
