T.R.B.

T.R.B. (The Random Band) is a hard rock ensemble based in Cranston, Rhode Island. They were the winners of the 2008 Hendricken Spring Battle Of the Bands, and were chosen as one of 12 bands to compete in the 2010 WXIN Rock Hunt. In 4 weeks, they managed to quickly gain in rank in the 2010 Ernie Ball Battle Of The Bands (in the running for the Mansfield, MA date of the 2010 Van's Warped Tour) from dead last when 1st signed up to top 40 out of hundreds.

Currently unsigned, T.R.B. is preparing for studio time in order to produce an EP, followed by their first full length album, Two Way Mirror, which is a hard rock concept album about a soldier's change of heart, and the reprecussions of his actions.

T.R.B. uses their live shows as means to be more progressive and unique, impressing and wowing the audience while still keeping them deeply and pleasently entertained. Their songs, which are heavily influenced by bands and artists such as Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, the Grateful Dead, Muse, U2 and Metallica, are generally well liked and original. With most of their songs differing in style and mood, their music is guaranteed to please any audience they play for (as proven by the reaction of all of their previous audiences).

Starting out several years before while the founding members were in their final year of middle school, T.R.B. has gained a growing following of both high school and college students, who are faithful fans that support them however they can (as evident by T.R.B.'s large draw at gigs, as well as their rapid progression in the Ernie Ball BOTB).

George, the frontman, singer, and guitarist for the band, composes almost all of the music the band performs, and is currently in the process of composing a classical-inspired album, as well as a musical. Primarily blues and hard rock influenced, his overall guitar skills have recieved praise by many. Justin Burde, the band's other guitarist, is influenced by everything from shred to jazz, and always impresses a crowd with his unfathomable ability to make his guitars sing. Laura, the band's bassist, is influenced by both funk, jazz, and the 80's heavy metal revolution, the combination of which gives her a unique style and sound which singles her out amongst bassists her age. And lastly, Ethan, the drummer, is widely considered to be one of the best drummers of his age. Not one person, after hearing and watching him play, has failed to be impressed. He is a versatile drummer that can play any genre put before him with ease, and is a perfect addition to the overall sound of T.R.B.
