After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music. - Aldous Huxley

subseven

I had the privilege of touring the US with some of my best friends playing music everynight. We played some of the raddest venues; House of Blues, the Glass House, the Pepsi Center in Denver, my faves beings the small ones that were packed full of kids, sweat dripping from the ceiling and air so thick you could barely breathe, the big venues were sweet too i’ll never forget the sound my kick drum made at our soundcheck in the Pepsi Center. All in all some great times, great memories. This little page serves as an homage to all things rock in my life, past and present.

subseven formed in 1999, Wesley Fite (vocals), Reed Corbin (bass), Clint McManaman (drums), and Smokey Emerson (guitar). We played the midwest for 4 years as an independent. During that time we released 2 independent albums (the Black Album - 2000) and the (Larusso EP - 2001) gaining a wild local following. Smokey left the band in 2002, and in stepped Caleb Wilkerson and Jacob Sullivan.

In 2003, we signed with Flicker Records and spent a month in Anaheim, CA with producer Bob Burch (Number One Gun, Sluggo), to record “the EP”.

With the release of Free to Conquer, subseven quickly began touring even more, hitting the US multiple times in 2005 with bands like Pillar, Project 86, Falling Up, Disciple, Chasing Victory, and the one and only Stryper, we also managed to play some dates on Van’s Warped Tour. Our videos gained airplay on TVU, MTVU, MTV2, FUSE, and Much Music, as well as countless internet video channels.

2005 also brought member changes to the band, in the fall Jacob, Reed and Caleb left the band, and new bass player Shaun Brown, and guitarist Evan Crowley, stepped into complete the 2005 touring season. On December 3rd, We recorded the video for Hold On at OKC’s the Green Door, after the video shoot we announced that we were calling it quits and played our last show that night.

VERSA

Versa is my last musical venture to date. The band consisted of members of subseven; myself, Caleb, and Jacob as well as two friends Zack Sullivan and Tim Hawkins. It was a great way to feed the need to rock, we experimented with video and audio loops for our live sets playing locally throughout 2006 and recording an ep. We called it quits when I moved to Michigan in February 07…or did we?

Anita’s Anger

Anita’s Anger was a side project I played in with a few friends my freshman year of college. Our sound was a mix of the Mr. T Experience, Green Day and Weezer. Unfortunately we never played a show, but did manage to record “Black Tie Affair”, currently available nowhere.
