ABOUT

The name's Brian. I'm a longtime guitarist/vocalist (10+ years) and have started playing drums over the past year. I used to play in a mix of hardcore and metal bands when I was younger but now want to start a 3-4 piece surf/garage/hardcore band in Oakland. Have all my own gear and am ready to start playing.

If you are looking to form a band of a different sound, I might be interested depending on what you are looking to play. Feel free to hit me up.
