A childhood friend of mine who I don't talk to much anymore is in a band too called Bridge (might not be anymore). He is a phenomenal guitarist, he was a child prodigy, just couldn't get in with the right bands. His name is Paul Moore and is extremely gifted with the axe. Hopefully he gets on with a band that gets signed, he deserves it.
I know a ton of super talented muscians that will probably never go anywhere. Being in a band is like being in a relationship except that you don't get to have make up sex.

The Internet had defintely made it easier for less mainstream bands get a solid fan base.

here is another great local metal band. Once again showing the power of the internet. http://www.myspace.com/thineeyesbleed
