Lower Case A - Hard Rock and Metal

Casey Marr: Vocals
David Dan: Guitar
Sam Gabbard: Bass/Vocals
Brian Bolsta: Drums/Vocals

This is one of the few younger bands we've recorded that didn't have a weak link. All the musicians are very strong performers and tight as heck.

Interesting side note, we didn't know they were coming in! They showed up and we didn't have them on the schedule. After an hour of polite debate and realizing that they and their friends drove 5 hours to record with us, we cancelled our sessions and recorded their 12 song album in two days. Day 2 was a burner at over 14 hours and they were total pros the whole time. Looking back, we're glad we cancelled the other sessions to work with them. This band ROCKS!

The Band
The band had been together about a year before recording. Their first song ever was called "Lefty", which they all hate now. Sam started the band, Casey was the last to join. They've played several paid gigs around their hometown of Oakhurst, CA. In the months prior the recording David's Mom even managed to book them a show down in Newport Beach.

They seem to be somewhat of local heroes, the kids love when they play at the only venue in town, the bowling alley. They started the band in hopes of getting big, because nobody starts a band and says, "Let only play for our parents in our garage!"

Lower Case A does love the music, no matter how cliche it sounds. But for them, it's mainly a way to not be bored to tears all day in quite possibly one of the smallest towns ever. PS - The "A" is NEVER lower case!

David Dan David has been playing guitar since 1998. He taught himself how to play a little bit, but later took two years of guitar class at Yosemite High School. His influences range from Black Sabbath to The Offspring. His favorite kinds of music are metal or anything hard core. His favorite band is Blindside. He uses a Marshall 150 half stack with an Ibanez Destroyer. He only plays red guitars and is color blind.

Sam Gabbard Sam has been playing bass since 1999. He taught himself to play, but also took two years of guitar classes with David at Yosemite High School. Sam is the oldest member of the band at the time of this recording at age 17. His influences include Primus, System of a Down, Red Hot Chili Peppers and At The Drive In. His favorite band is Zoo and his favorite styles of music include metal, screamo and oldies. He uses a Gallien Krueger through a Peavey cabinet with two 15" speakers. He plays an Epiphone Thunderbird IV Reverse.

Brian Bolsta   Brian has been playing drums since 1999 and is completely self-taught. He can't read music at all and doesn't know how to measure it either. He attended Yosemite High School with the rest of his band mates. His influences include Lewis Nash and WUV (of P.O.D.). Some of his favorite bands are At The Drive In, Refused and Coke. He listens to just about all styles of music, except of course country and opera (Sidenote from Conrad: "Them there's fightin' words boy!"). He plays a DW five piece set with Sabian cymbals and one day dearly hopes to truly appreciate country western music and opera, well...ok, we added that last part.

Casey Marr Casey, like most people, has always been singing. He's just only ever sang for this band, though. He has never taken singing lessons or had a vocal coach. He has been strongly influenced by Davey Havok of A.F.I. His favorite bands include A.F.I., Blindside and Project 86. His favorite styles of music include metal, rock and roll and screamo. He uses a nice mic - he likes it. He is the youngest member of the band at age 16 at time of recording.
