Portrait of Self Control
(L to R) Brad-Guitar, Zeb-Guitar/back up vox, David-Drums, Mike-Vox, Pete-Bass
We are a band from the small town of Minong, Wisconsin. We just started probably 4 months ago, just got our name 2 weeks ago. so we are pretty new.
our lead vox (Mike Merlo) was in another band (Safe to Say) with our backup vox and lead guitarist.
***Members:
Mike Merlo-Vocals(4 years experience)
Zeb Butterfield-Guitar(6 years experience)
Brad Apfel-Guitar(5 years experience)
Pete Merrill-Bass(4 Months experience)
David Marshall-Drums(1 year experience)
After Safe to Say broke up because of the lead guitarist Josh D. moving to iowa, Mike and Zeb both decided to start over with a new crowd. so they found David Marshall the beastly big drummer, this is his first band. Pete Merrill the quiet bassist d00d, this is also his first band. They also found just recently Brad Apfel, who is the rythm guitar.
We haven't played any shows yet, we have to get some new equipment first.
We have recording equipment but Mike keeps forgetting to bring it to practice, so we used a digital camera and taped ourselves at practice one day. then converted the video into audio. thats why the quality isn't the greatest.
anyways. we hope you guys like what we have managed to come up with we are currently finishing up 6 songs and hope Mike brings the recording euqipment to practice so we can post better sounding songs on here.
We would appreciate any votes, greatly.
or even an add or fan club join.
we are trying our best to be the best out there. Peace out D00Ds :D
