Bryan Clayton- GUITAR/ VOCALS
Born Feb 11, 1983. Point Pleasant Hospital, New Jersey. Picked up his first guitar in the early 7th grade(about 13 yrs. old). Mainly influenced by his father, who played an old acoustic guitar. "The sound and chord structure sounded so good and powerful, I just wanted to learn how to play immediately". "After recieving my first guitar, I can remember playing from the time I got home from school until at least early morning. Listening to a lot of Kenny Wayne Shepherd and SRV videos, CD's, and reading a lot of tableture. Signed up for lessons a few months after and just continued on. (Thanks Tommy G.) "After years of practice, Bryan has increased his guitar playing ability and has shown, and will continue to show everybody how his rock/blues style is played not only 150%, but straight from his heart, right where the music starts.

SONGWRITING TECHNIQUE

I like to start songs off with simplicity and then gradually add to them. I feel a song will get as much credit as to the amount of work you apply to it. I like to take one line at a time and know exactly what I'm writing about, and how it is going to be pronounced. Songwriting is just like anything else, "It takes practice". Yes, there is a lot of frustration involved, but you just need to know to walk around it. Be creative, smart, and have an ambition to do something with this. It will gain you two steps from where you left off.

Rob Puri-BASS/ VOCALS
Born, May 8, 1983 at Jersey Shore Medical Center in Neptune, NJ. Music is everything. It is life, it is a sense of relaxation, its a lot of things! With out Music there is Chaos! I feel that a person cannot live without some sort of music. This is what got me started in actually looking at the art form of songs. I've been playing and studying music for a little under 10 years now. It all started in 3rd grade where I first started to study the trumpet. I've then grew old of the trumpet. In 8th grade I picked up the Bass, signed up for lessons and have been playing and studying the Bass ever since!
