The Rise Of Them
Not so much a band, more like a solo project. I write all of this music in my home just for fun really. It's a emotional release for me, if I didn't do this I prolly would go crazy, tis what happens when you are jobless. I love writing music, it's been a passion of mine for going on 5 years now, ever since I started playing guitar. I really have no genera, but my off the top of my head improv stuff tends to be thrash metal.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
I started this project about a year ago, in 2009, and ever since I've just been making a ton of songs.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I do play live, but not in this solo project, I'm part of my Church's youth group band, and we play every Wednesday, I love it, bunch of great guys.
Your musical influences
I'm a big fan of Chevelle, and Billy Talent, not too complex, but enjoyable to listen to. I play anything and everything, except rap. I tend to listen to classical music every now and then to get away from the metal music grind.
What equipment do you use?
My electric guitar is a 2006 Affinity Squier Strat that I have custom modded with a black pearliod pickguard loaded with a Barenuckle Painkiller in the bridge, and soon to be Barenuckle Trilogy Suites in the middle and neck positions, Graphtech saddles, Graphtech nut, All parts mini tuners, brass trem block, and some cosmetic parts. My acoustic guitar is a Takamine G Series EG334SC. My amp is a stock Valveking 112 that I turned into a head. My recording set up is my computer, Reaper, and the mic in on my soundcard, simple, but gets the job done.
Anything else?
I love playing music, and I'm always writing songs, I'm a laid back guy with a strong opinion, so if you want to do a collab, just let me know, and I'll gladly play for ya.
