Former Spineshank drummer Tom Decker (photo) has teamed up with guitarist Mike Sarkisyan and bass player Robert Garcia - both ex-Spineshank members as well - in an as-yet-unnamed new project. The line-up is recently completed by new vocalist Brandon Espinoza, also known as Brandonio Branderas.\"We have found a singer. His name is Brandon Espinoza. We\'ve been working together for about a month and have 5 songs done. We couldn\'t be happier with him. His voice is exactly what we have been looking for — an awesome scream and a great singing voice.\"
According to Decker the writing process has never been easier. He calims the band\'s sound is still heavy and dynamic with melody, but it\'s a little darker and more raw. Continues the drummer:
\"Our sound is a little different from what a lot of bands are doing these days and we won\'t be jumping on any bandwagons to fit in. We\'re just writing what feels right to us. So far there are no loops or electronics, and no plan to use them any time soon. We obviously didn\'t rush to find a new singer and truly feel that Brandon is the right guy for us. Our main concern now is to focus on writing more songs and getting to know each other musically.\"
Tommy Decker and the other Spineshank members state the band has been one of the most important things in their lives since 1996, but they feel is for a new beginning, with a new band.
