   About The Violent High
a violent dichotomy; a reunion of musical forces. having spent years apart, they finally converge to illustrate a vision using the vivid colors of their unique life experiences.

Brothers from different mothers Jordan Ricasa and Richard Bright join forces once again after a 5 year stint of "working for the man". Having founded punk rock band, "Pawne", way back in high school, the duo's chemistry has had time to flourish and is made most apparent in their vocal harmonies in their recent incarnation, "The Violent High". The two enlist the help of Blair Schleske, a childhood friend of Jordan's, on drums detail, and another former "Pawne" member and former "Resination" trombonist, Colin Dean, ..s and backup vocals. Forged from punk rock in a country band's rehearsal garage, "The Violent High" flaunts cascading-distortion anthems backed by tripped-out heartfelt lows all dipped in a twangy southern rock sauce.

How's the demo goin boys? We just recorded four more songs, all in one day in the garage. Very low budget and quite sloppy. Oh well, it's our little EP.
Any luck with shows? How are your summers looking? We going any further than Monterey?

Jun 6 2008 9:59 PM

I know commenting twice in one day is lame, but did i mention STRIKE for having leanardo di caprio listed as an influence...thats like a duel weilding strike...I know i know the quick and the dead and all but still...Leonardo Di Caprio?!?! It is quite late 90's of you to still let Leo capture your imagination, i must say. Why don't you list JTT as an influence next?!!??
im just giving u a hard time and please notice the gratuitous use of periods and other: punctuations!!!!
