About me

"Throw it back like a shot before riding the bull."

There's something about a band from a small town. Be it the Jackson 5 from Gary, Indiana- or a band like LIVE from blue collar York, Pennsylvania- or Kings of Leon from Mt. Juliet, Tennessee- there's something about music from a small town that always sounds BIG.

And big is what T-roy from little ol’ Akron Ohio had in mind when he first met Kevin Briggs, ironically at a job interview. Realizing that Kevin was also from a small town just outside of Rochester, New York, T-roy asked Kevin- without even hearing him play- if he'd be interested in forming a band.

Three months later, when Kevin finally realized that T-roy was "not giving up", he recruited his brother AJ Briggs and formed the band that had never played a note together. Ironically, the three of them grew up listening to the likes of Kiss, AC/DC, The Rolling Stones and Aerosmith, so the three small town boys got in a room for the first time-and wouldn't you know it- the blues based hard rock they created in a little North Hollywood sounded BIG.

But it was about to get BIGGER. Enter Robert Mollohan, raised in Fairmont, West Virginia, who agreed to meet with the band at a local spot to get a CD of their music. The moment he walked in, AJ and T-roy said to each other- "That's our guy!" How'd they know? Musta been a small town thang.

So T-roy grabbed his brother Trent to play bass, and thus the small town boys to BIG city Los Angeles transformation was complete: A combination of the Old School Blues based guitars and a twist of Space Rock brought to you by the Briggs brothers, a solid, soulful and original rhythm section brought to you by the Berry Brothers, and brought to fruition by the unique passion, fire and energy of frontman, Robert Mollohan.

So go ahead and put Molly Gunner in the CD player.

Because nothing this small ever sounded so BIG.
