Bio

This is a band made by Tyler Johnson and Thomas Smith. Meeting Ty in grade 10, Thomas was pretty peculiar about starting a band. Little did Tom know that shortly after inviting his new friend over one day did he learn Ty played bass. What was just thought to be a friendship became a long- time bass and drum duo. They meet at Thomas's whenever they have time.

"My brother Greggory always said, 'Country is where the music is'. I never really believed him. We both listened to a lot of Fear Factory and Staind, whish is where I got my liking for hard drums from. So I bought a $100 Tourqe(good condition, f- in steal), then I knew I needed another player. So a few years later I met Ty. Seemed like a nice guy, so I got him acquainted with my other nerd buddies(haha). I soon learned he played bass, so, being influenced by the same people, we got this duo going. WAS a cool project, IS a cool project, Will always BE a cool project."

 "I'm not exactly in school anymore either so I suppose I could use a more up-to-date quote. We've really been getting more experimental and gradually exploring new ideas that we probably never would have even dreamed about before. We're both workin now though and usually work remotely on our days off. Tom and I usually try to get together at his place every so often and I bring my laptop and my bass and we jam out some shit. Then, if we come up with something we like, we record it then use it as a basis for a more higher quality track. Meeting Tom in grade 10 was probably the best thing to happen to me since he's probably the only guy I've stayed friends with for that long, not to mention that it was probably his idea to get this whole Raikon thing started.  I almost can't belive this thing got started when I was in grade 10 and now we're both graduating and still going strong with the project. Sounds pretty awesome to me."
