We have a ska/punk/metal thing going on. I guess if you like bands like Less Than Jake, The Vandals, some Suicide Machines, a little Scandinavian metal and Dead Milkmen type stuff, then you might like us.

MORE SONGS AT
It all started on a dark and stormy night quite like this one. The year was 2000 bell-bottoms were in, man had just stepped foot on the moon, the Union
had won the Civil War, and a band called Horrible Idea had begun to form. Two brave souls named Kevin and Sean decided to count their chickens
before they were hatched and invest everything into a concept: Forming a band that played really good music. Music that encompassed all of their
Influences. Ska songs that morphed into epic metal solos, punk songs that went into ska, and then into some kind of weird Dead Milkmen type stuff, and then back into punk. Whatever came to their minds.
After writing a lot of songs, they realized they weren't good enough yet to make their dream a reality. Sean went into seclusion in Djibouti Africa for six months, and practiced sweep arpegios on an old acoustic guitar. He returned with much more knowledge and the skill to make their dream a reality. Kevin had been going to bars and "hanging out" the entire time, so he remained about the same...
They both got out of the Marines, and moved to northern Georgia to set up base. A man named BJ became their bassist. Kevin recruited Chris from Middleport New York. They had gone to school together, and had been in a band (which consisted of AC/DC and Metallica covers... and two original tunes) called Kaos as young lads. Chris was the guitarist in Horrible Idea from early 2005 until May 2006, then a bunch of "silly shit" happened:
Timeline:
Chris no longer guitarist
Beau became guitarist
BJ no longer played bass
Beau no longer guitarist
Chris back on guitar
Bryan became bassist
Bryan no longer bassist
When the "silly shit" subsided, the band had reformed into a spectacular perfect triangle of rock solid rocking rock. Of course the triangle is a just a metaphor for the three corners of rock slingers that currently make up the meaty stew of Horrible Idea: Kevin, Sean, and Chris.
The band has recently recorded a full length album with 19 songs, and is still trying to scrape together enough cash to print the damn thing. For now they just burn hundreds of copies and hand them out to everyone they see. Horrible Idea plans to spread their music, play shows, and continue to do it until their hands become too crippled with arthritis to hold an instrument.
Its my mission to win the hearts and minds of the kid in Afgan. so i will take the music of Horrible Idea with me.... so they will know peace for once. lol
Just wanted to say thanks for being a friend on here...I have been working on my new song and trying to get myself ready to perform it live. This summer has been a blast so far! Hope you are having a fun one too =)
