John R Wyatt, a singer/songwriter, and Ron E Hall met in January of 1986. Ronny, a guitar player, had had experience with writing in the past with bands like "Fury" who recorded their debut album in 1983. Johnny was experienced in writing and recording as early as 1981. Within a couple years he was involved with, (for personal reasons), an "un-named" band in Florida who went on to chart singles and tour, at one time openning up for Styx on their "Kilroy Was Here" tour. Ron and John started a band called "Repertoire" and mainly did covers. But the writing soon developed with songs like" Make the Best" and "Where Did We Go Wrong?" By late 1986 with a new drummer and bass player "Trauma " was born. 1987 saw the recording of "I Dream Of Your Love" followed the next year by "Sweet Home Cincinnati" and My Own Way", both songs recieving airplay on a local ROCK station, "ribbitt". At the beginning of 1989 John left Trauma to pursue a solo gig. Trauma continued for a short time recording "Movie Queens". By late 1992 Ron and John where back at it. Meeting and writing new material. With a new band, the new CD, "Rubicon" is the culmination of those days that have continued up to now. Music written by Ron and lyrics/melodies written by John. Production of this CD started in 2008 and wasn't finnished till August 2009. With Ron doing most of the Guitar work and John doing the vocals this CD is already recieving airplay on InsomniaradioUK, RadioCanda, The ClassX Radio Network, and Jango Radio. With much more material under their belt they are preparing to record another CD soon. Our influences vary widely. Doing covers in the 80's with songs by artists like Def Leppard, Foriegner, Scorpians, 38 Special, and many more, Our writing took on a mind of it's own. If you ask 100 people what our new CD sounds like, you get 100 different answers. That's a sign of originallity.
