MiKE: spent most of my life growing up in Southern California (Inland Empire) where i was introduced to, and got hooked on, the local punk scene (Voodoo Glow Skulls, face to face, Skeletones, Fighting Cause, etc...). Started to teach myself to play guitar with help from Chad Perkins, guitar player for "Noble Cause".

Got tired of my shitty job stocking soda products. Quit, moved to Seattle, answered an ad in a local music magazine, became guitar player for STAMPEDE!. Been rocking the local scene for the past 2 years.

Todd: grew up in the big city of san diego during the late '70's & '80's of the southern california punk scene. i was very strongly influenced by the bands that were coming out of the l.a. scene. while all the while holding onto roots deep into country western music. i learned to voice my thoughts and learned to strum a guitar. one of my favorite things is Bull Ridin' . I'd just like to say...never give up the fight and ALWAYS stand up for what you believe in.

Matt: Originally from Orange County, CA. Grew up listening to punk rock. He started playing bass in high school. Saddled up with Stampede! in May of '98. His influences range from bands like Black Flag and Social Distortion to the stray Cats and Eddie Cochran. Some interests other than music are horror films and old cars. Matt feels that you should be true to your friends and never let anyone "drag you down."
