Jeremy Little - Guitar/Vox Ryan Ruiz - Bass/Vox
Jonny Victor - Keys/Vox
Influences
Eric grew up on 80's rock and metal and got into grunge in the early 90's, especially Pearl Jam. Pretty much a fan of anything that truly rocks, from classic (The Doors, Zeppelin) to modern (The Killers, Jet). Still holds a special place for bands like Metallica and Pantera, and, for reasons beyond our understanding, Michael Jackson and Sarah McLaughlin.
Jeremy also grew up on 80's rock and metal (Maiden represent!) and, after getting REALLY into metal during his early teen years, has since expanded his love of music to all genres except Country and anything by Cheap Trick. In his CD player, you could find anything from Beethoven to Less Than Jake to Coheed and Cambria.
Byrd has been playing drums and percussion for the last 20 years, and has always listened to a wide variety of music. He misses his hair sometimes, and has been accused of never having an original thought - choosing to fill in casual conversation with movie quotes (Fo' sho'! Fo' sho'. I'm gonna get that fo' sho'.). Musical influences include: Primus, Pearl Jam, Zeppelin, SOAD, Rage Against the Machine, Beastie Boys, Limp Bizkit (no typo), Korn, Coldplay, bis, Radiohead, and anyone on SSM, among others.
Jonny is an accomplished actor and musician. His manifesto can be viewed here.
Ryanloves the 80's... yeah, that about sums it up.
