Bio
The Ward brothers (Adam and Matt) have been playing bass and guitar together off and on since around 1980. Jared Alexander picked up a guitar for the first time (at Matt's urging) at age 14. By age 16 he was playing 6th street and Red River clubs, primarily with his band The Dexters. Bobby Sheehan could drum before he could walk (check the vids if you don't believe me) and has toured and recorded for years. He's on the list for studio work at Cacophony Recording. Tim Wilkins has been in numerous bands as a singer/backup guitar since he was a kid, and loves being able to just sing.
Through a strange turn of events (isn't it always) we all first got together in early 2009. Matt, Jared, Bobby and Adam had played together (in a spare bedroom) for a couple years prior to that, but Tim was the first singer who could sing, and wasn't completely insane. So, after about 6 months of practices, we jumped on stage and have played steadily since.
Influences: Hard Rock/Metal. Name 'em...Metallica, Priest, Ozzy, Zep, Tool, AC/DC, Pantera, Sevendust, Maiden...depends on who in the band you talk to.
