Hi...I'm Brian and I'm a guitaraholic. And I don't want to stop. I began playing at the age of 13 after getting heavily into The Beatles. My parents bought me a cheap Epiphone acoustic. I wanted to learn the guitar just to play Beatles songs. Then I started getting into Hendrix and wanted to be a guitar player. I even went out and bought my 1st real guitar, a 1979 Stratocaster just cause he played one. A few years later I joined the United States Marine Corps. It was either that or persue music. In the Marines I got turned on to Metallica and that was all she wrote. I got Master Of Puppets.....when it was new....... and shit just changed for me. I got out of The Marines and everything's been about music ever since. So there we have it......Beatles-Music, Hendrix-Guitar, Metallica-Metal.
In 99 or 2000 or something like that I got into a band called CHOPCORE and we got to do alot of killer shows with bands like Pro-Pain, Ringworm, DRI and Internal Bleeding. We released a demo called Fuck That Noise. That cd got us a very small deal with a European label called Metal Age Productions. They released out full length, "Bloody Little Mess" which went nowhere and did nothing really. But it was a bunch of good songs. The band broke up a little while later and I briefly joined BEHIND THE SUN. They are without a doubt the best band out there and should blow the fuck up. But that band wasn't right for me and I bailed like the Airborne over Normandy. The next band was Circle Of Fear from Dec 2003 to October 2005. Again alot of killer shows... Overkill, Black Dahlia Murder, Pig Destroyer, Exodus. We got picked up by a small independant label call Lito Records. They released our cd "When Dementia Sets In" which, again, went nowhere and did nothing. See the pattern? I decided to leave that band do to a growing family and growing frustrations with the musicianship. And like most other suck ass guitar players I think I can make a "solo" CD. Just for my own amusement. So I'm writing and recording that one now as well. Are you still reading this?
The songs you're listening to now are from my old band, CHOPCORE's 2002 release, "BLOODY LITTLE MESS" (Metal Age Productions)

No? It's located off of College St. in downtown right next to the Maggiano's. The park is called The Green. Big ol' brick book with kids crawling on it. Yeah, it's a tad creepy :P
