Music types: Punk, Emo
Description:
We are a three peice punk/emo band that sounds like a mix of blink182, new found glory, and taking back sunday, its quite interesting


Band Members:
Matt Lloyd- Lead singer and guitarist Matt has been playing guitar for around 2 years, and sang for most of his life. He is the oldest member of the group at 23 years old. His main influence to start a band was Blink 182, after he saw them performing and how much fun they were having, he knew this is something he wanted to do. Thus, he picked up a guitar and started learning covers. His other main musical influences include New Found Glory, MXPX, The Used, The Movielife, Taking Back Sunday, Box Car Racer, NOFX, Sum 41, and Brodie. Matt is currently a correctional officer at Ellsworth Correctional Facility. His main goal for the band is generally to have fun, while writing the best music that they possibly can. He firmly believes the band has good enough music to make it, now if only the right person would listen to it……

Chris Quintanar- Drums Chris has been playing the drums for 6 years, he is the runt of the litter clocking in at 16 years old. There are many people who have said that Chris is one of the most talented drummers in the state of Kansas. Chris’s musical influences include MXPX, Blink 182, BoxCarRacer, NOFX, 311 and various Indie bands from around the country. Much of his inspiration comes from Blink182’s drummer- Travis Barker. Currently Chris is a Junior at Ellsworth High school. He enjoys long walks on the beach poetry, flowers and looking at pictures of unicorns. For him the main part of being in the band is having fun, and it is a great way for him to deal with the stress of everyday life.

Brett Rathbun- Bass Guitar and BGV Brett is an 18 year old freshman at Kansas State University in Manhattan, KS. Brett picked up the bass solely to be the band’s bassist, a long time friend of both the lead guitarist and the drummer, and a fair 6 string guitarist Brett added the bottom end flair that the band needed. Brett had never played the bass before, but picked it up quickly thanks mainly in part to his skills at the guitar, he had only been playing for a little over 5 months before the band hit the studio for the first time. Brett also took the roll of background vocals, even though he had never sang a note(besides in the shower) he turned out to be an awesome vocalist and meshed wonderfully with Matt’s style. Brett’s musical influences include Thursday, the distillers, NOFX, the used, Offspring, Millencolin, Pulley, Hot Hot heat. Once again, Brett’s main aspiration for the band is to have fun trying to write good music that people can relate to.
