Formed in mid-March of 2004, Tom (drummer) formed the beginnings of GB with a member who departed with the band about the end of march if that...Tom, Eric (bassist)and I (troy) came into the picture and that was that after the initial forming. We suffered a loss of our second guitarist, Chris and moved on. Now we focus on the direction of our sound and writing and composing music before, during and on days when we don't have practices. The song writing process has alway been collective but there has always been someone kind of leading the vision. I suppose whoever's idea for the song it was in the first place but we don't do exclusive rights. Its more like one person has a riff or a full idea for a song and the other two assume reactive role in the song-writing process.
