Influences: Old Kiss, Slayer, Sabbath, Pantera, Anthrax, Pro-pane, Sepultura, Sierra Nevada Stout, Guinness, Sam Adams, Capt Morgan's, and margarita's

Previous Bands: Age Of Uncertainty, Fear Of Life, and Mean Green.

Best Experiences: Playing at the Virginia Beach Amphitheater was the best. It was so great that our fans really came together and voted us into the Lunatic Luau. Every show we've played at the Norva has also been a major highlight.

Worst Experiences: When we were on tour with Sic Seed, their van broke down in some omish community in Pennsylvania. They sprayed a bunch of ether in the carburator and caused a big fireball under the hood. They eventually had to change out the gas tank. The whole deal put us back a day.

Funniest Mishap: Haha, well Keith already mentioned this one, but I will tell you my side of the story. Me and Al from Sic Seed were walking in the woods in the mountains of Ithica, NY to check out this waterfall we heard about. Al knew his way around, but I didn't. After we saw the waterfall, Al fell asleep on a rock. I wasn't trying to wait around for him to wake up, so I started walking back. After a while, I started realizing that I didn't know where I was. I was just getting deeper and deeper in the woods. Finally I came across a path and saw a lady with some kids walking towards me. As soon as she saw me, they turned around and started walking the other way. I was trying to talk to them and tell them I was lost, but they weren't having it. After a few minutes and a little persistence on my part, she finally told me to follow her out of the woods. By the time I made it back to the van, Al had already been back for a few hours. I had been wandering around in the woods for about four or five hours.

Equipment: Two Ampeg 4x12 cabinets, two Rocktron Velocity 300 power amps, Alesis Midiverb 2, ADA mp1, Digitech Whammy, Crybaby wah, Boss tuner, a Dean Razorback "Shards" and a USA prototype Westone strat.

Hobbies: Playing PS2 games. I also like playing golf from time to time.

What Got You Into Heavy Music: Back in the day I listened to a lot of Kiss. Eddie Van Halen, Randy Rhoads, and Tony Iommi also got me into playing heavy music. If you ask me, those guys are the backbone of metal.

What Else Do You Listen To Besides Heavy Music: I like to chill out with some Pink Floyd sometimes. I also like Led Zeppelin, Steve Vai, and definitely Hank 3. There was also a band back in the day that not many have heard of called 24-7 Spyz. That was some killer stuff.
