SeVeR formed in late Summer 2003 in the DuBois, PA area.
Sever's lineup is:
Dave Harris: Vocals
Paul Butler: Drums
Rich Emery: Guitar
Jason Geer: Bass
The band had tried out numerous guitar players and singers without much luck, but then Paul ran into Rich unexpectedly, and the pieces starting fitting together. Paul and Rich had been neighbors when they were younger and had jammed together on guitars, but they hadn't seen each other for years. After Paul moved away, Rich started jamming with Dave. Rich sparked Paul and Dave's musical interests as kids, and taught them both a lot on guitar.
Paul played guitar for a number of years, then bass in another band, until he found his true calling tearing up the drums. Rich and Dave both played guitar in various bands. Though he has messed around with bass and drums, there's never been any question as to which instrument Rich was always meant to stand behind. Dave had never sung before hooking up with SeVeR, but quickly and naturally found his voice, even the gut wrenching screams. They hooked up with Jason with the bottom end from Hell. Jason played in a few bands, but with us he completes what is now in your face...
SeVeR.
Sever plays all over! We play as much as we can and are always finding new places to rip it up!
We have played some kick ass places like:
