Brian Lester is an aspiring solo artist with great potential. Started playing guitar at the age of 15 for Jen Luxton. Progressed fairly quickly until meeting Craig Murphy where all the real progress began. Playing his first concert but a few months after meeting Mr. Murphy, they rocked their school with a set list of...
Rock you like a hurricane - The Scorpions
Eruption - Van Halen
Enter Sandman - Metallica
Ego inflated, Brian and Craig continue with "After-Shock" for about another few months until a fateful incident with a guitar, but we wont get into that on the "Bios" page. The two became enemies for a short while, but soon regained their friendship, After-Shock however, was deceased.
Playing solo for a while, the spark to play in a band was rekindled when Ryan Seabrook and Jake Rendell brought up the idea of starting a band. Brian could think of no better person to set the stage ablaze then his old cohort, Craig Murphy.
In late September, Garage Inc was formed, played many concerts for various occasions, but ultimatly ended due to creative differences. Once again a solo artist, Brian tries to start other bands, but has no luck so he stays as freelance for a while.
Finally getting serious about his music, he begins recording various tracks and experimenting with different sounds. Early November, Brian's very first solo recording "Dedications" was released. All instrumental composition was completed by Brian with the vocal tracks slammed by Jake Rendell.
Staying low for a while, calms down on the recording scene, working with Wes Greco on tracks such as "Octavia" and covering "Knockin on Heaven's Door" until inspiration hit. The next single, thanks to Sara Kutt, who challenged him to write a new song. A few days later, Brian Releases his Punk, Rock, Power Ballad "Story of Two".
Soon after Story of Two's release, DOWNTIME. Until Craig and Brian began to work on their first compilation, Skies Above was completed January 1st 2006.
Expanding his horizons, he moves on to experiment with different genres, Recording "To The End & Back" which is a punk rock inspired song.
Behind Closed Doors was a new release of February 2006, a song dedicated to Lee Skinner!
