The Stand
1993 ~ 1995
My very first real band, this progressive heavy metal project was way ahead of it's time. Intricate arrangements, intense energy and blistering tempos mixed with Ali's socially concious, venomous and literate lyrics. This is the band that taught me all about playing in a band. There were only a few live performances, and a couple of demo tapes, but this band's role in my personal growth was unique and profound. I would not be the musician I am today had it not been for this band of brothers.
Other Musicians: Ali Sugerman, Steve Perez, James Perez
