Album Notes

VICTOR is an original band that formed in late 2005. Their music is created from a blend of hardcore, metal, punk, and rock. They have a unique energy-driven sound that’s been described as a blend of searing guitar riffs and melodic vocal harmonies. Everyone in the band has a different musical background and brings what they have to offer to the table. The band has definitely evolved quite a bit since they started a few years ago. Member changes, music style changes, equipment changes, you name it. VICTOR feels like they have the right group of guys to put some kick ass music out there. Here is a brief history of the band, so far: In late 2005, Andy Bilak from NJ (Vox/Guitar) and Noble Dean from IN (Bass) started throwing some ideas out there, and created a few songs. Soon after, they recruited a local drummer, and started putting a few things together. They also added a second guitar spot, which changed hands many times in the first year. In July of 2006 Charles Holloway filled the drummer slot, where he is still today. Shortly after in Sept. of 2006, Andy Vassar joined the band on guitar and helped write/produce/record the self-released CD ‘The New Alcohol Smell’ with the band. In January of 2008, VAS left the band and FL native Josh Curchy joined the band, and filled the guitar spot. Josh added new vocal harmonies as well as aggressive screamo vocal parts to the music. He was also an integral part of the newly released CD, and contributed many vocal parts and harmonies. In Dec. 2008 Josh left the band and was replaced Mark Brumlow on guitar. Mark is already up to speed with all of the old material, and is currently writing new music with the band.
