Member Background 1 (Thomas)
Thomas:
Thomas is a multi instrumentalist (guitar, bass, drums, and piano) and a songwriter and loved music from a very young age. He was in 8th grade when he heard bands like blink-182, Sum-41, and Box Car Racer, Angels & Airwaves, New Found Glory, The Story So Far, Bowling For Soup, All American Rejects, Pat O’ Brien, Death, Steve Vai, Van Halen, Zakk Wylde Megadeth, Prince, Slash, SRV, Brian May and Nirvana for the first time and he was inspired by that goofy, aggressive, heavy, badass, beautiful, and inspiring style of music. He picked up guitar at 14 and started a punk band with his best friend at the time and later joined a band as the drummer and then ended up playing bass but still always played guitar and had a soft spot for it. And that band would be RainzEnd! He was lead singer and bassist. But he wanted to play guitar and create something that was just more than music. It was a message and a calling...
The rest is history…

Her musical influences include Les Claypool of Primus, Rex Brown of Pantera, Mikey Way of My Chemical Romance, and her father, whose passion for music inspired her own path.

Her playing is rooted primarily in metal, punk, nu metal, and funk, while remaining open to a broad range of styles.
