SO u WANNA know "US"

Well, Im gunna do this the BEST i can. Tripwired was formed back in 2002 by two people. Me, Ian Southwell, and Travis Doherty(old guitarist). The name Tripwired came from my girlfriend Lhea Josephine. At that point in time the band was called (ebola). The Band slowly configured into a "aw fuck it lets just do this for fun" type deal. Then I turned rythm guitar/backup vocal, travis stayed in lead, and we got ourselves a new vocalist. Joey Padilla. (if your wondering back then we used a pedal that had drum beats because we couldnt find a drummer). Then BOOM... Travis goes off to jail, but no biggie. I took on the lead guitar and joey keep on the vocals. We Changed the band name to DeaD'n'SToRaGe and made a bunch of joke death-metal crap (such as the BITCH song)(Shhhhhh). But that shit just didnt work out..but why would it? Then over a couple months, arrests, and arguments, THE BAND DIED....

But my spirit to keep something going didnt. Over Time i had plenty of time to write whole songs with the beats and the guitar, no problem. So i went searching. Come to find my guitarist, Chris Chiccino. He is still here working hard with us till this day. At that same point in time i came across my current drummer, Dan Chiccino. Dan specificly wanted to play bass but we NEEDED drums, and he knew that. So he took on the roll, and does a damn good job at it to. Now us 3, guitars, mics, drums, amps, friends and fans we have acctually pulled ourselves together into something that can be. AND WE WILL MAKE IT BE.

Currently to this date we are seeking a bassist between the ages of 16 -20 with influences such as Mudvayne, Chimaira, Pantera and Hatebreed. But ofcourse you can have different ones then that but that is the genre that WE NEED. So if you live in the Clearwater/Countryside area and you wanna come check us out one day and see if you wanna try email us at BEAKER2985@earthlink.net and we promise we will get you here to check it. And just to let all you heavy metal guitarist out there....ANOTHER ONE WONT HURT...if you know what im sayin.

Pretty much our hopes are to gain fans, please fans, help fans, and have our fans help us.

LETS DO THIS
THE FUTURE IS NOW
