Andy Bilak (Vox/Guitar) Hails from the cold hard streets of Trenton,
NJ - where he was influenced by NYC hardcore and lots of punk rock. Digs the newer metalcore stuff, but believes you need to keep melody in the music. Beer is his favorite food.
Mark Brumlow (Guitar/Vox) Mark is a technical mofo, this guy can lay some shit down. Mark says we need to wake this area the fuck up.
Noble Dean (Bass) You can always count on this guy to keep laying down the
heavy groove that forms the backbone of the VICTOR signature sound. He likes to keep to himself, so dont
try to talk to him. J/k, he is actually a nice guy and probably wont kick your ass.
Charles Holloway (Drums) It doesnt get more local FL than Chad. Always lookin for a buzz and some ladies. He will put on a show for you while he is playing drums, if he knows ur watchin... so yell some shit at him.
Sara (Merch/Photo) Come see Sara at a show to pickup some merch. Show us what you got, and get in some photos.

VICTOR IS OVER, SORRY!
---
Due to many member changes, and everyone's life changing so much in the past year, VICTOR is no longer a band. We almost got to the point of putting out a new EP, but it's just not going to happen. Everyone in the band just honestly didn't have the time to bring this band to the next level. We just want to say thanks to all the fans and everyone who supported us over the last 4 years. We really hope the scene picks up around here and some new killer bands get it going!
VICTOR is an original band that formed in late 2005. Their music is created from a blend of hardcore, metal, punk, and rock. They have a unique energy-driven sound that’s been described as a blend of searing guitar riffs and melodic vocal harmonies. Everyone in the band has a different musical background and brings what they have to offer to the table. The band has definitely evolved quite a bit since they started a few years ago. Member changes, music style changes, equipment changes, you name it. VICTOR feels like they have the right group of guys to put some kick ass music out there. Here is a brief history of the band, so far:
In late 2005, Andy Bilak from NJ (Vox/Guitar) and Noble Dean from IN (Bass) started throwing some ideas out there, and created a few songs. Soon after, they recruited a local drummer, and started putting a few things together. They also added a second guitar spot, which changed hands many times in the first year. In July of 2006 Charles Holloway filled the drummer slot, where he is still today. Shortly after in Sept. of 2006, Andy Vassar joined the band on guitar and helped write/produce/record the self-released CD ‘The New Alcohol Smell’ with the band. In January of 2008, VAS left the band and FL native Josh Curchy joined the band, and filled the guitar spot. Josh added new vocal harmonies as well as aggressive screamo vocal parts to the music. He was also an integral part of the newly released CD, and contributed many vocal parts and harmonies. In Dec. 2008 Josh left the band and was replaced Mark Brumlow on guitar. Mark is already up to speed with all of the old material, and is currently writing new music with the band.
So what is the band doing now? We’ll, there are about 7 or so new songs on the plate. Some of these will make it to a new 5-song EP that band plans to release in the first half of 2009. Much of the new material is more technical, a bit more aggressive at times, but still maintains a melodic balance. After completing of the new EP, the band is planning a release event, as well as many FL area shows to promote the release. Stay tuned for updates!
Our new website will be up near the release, but for now you can check out the old site @ http://victortheband.com for now.

I know the deal with not having time and the local scene sucking balls. none the less I hate to see you guys come to an end you had a good sound going, fresh and unmistakable, not the same old screaming death metal or white boy reage that everyone around here plays. You will be missed. -cheers fuckers
