The year is 2000. Singer/Guitarist Joe Bone was working at a Best Buy in Arlington, when a friend introduced him to guitarist Brandon Grigsby. Naturally, they hated each other. And a new chapter of Texas music was born. After working through their initial antipathy, they began working on acoustic numbers and finding a voice for themselves. Brandon started working at the same Best Buy store and the two played acoustic shows in coffee shops and lingerie stores. Joe started working at the Movie Tavern and met bassist Chris Sivo (hereafter Sivo), who was in a Metallica cover band at the time. Joe asked Sivo to jam with them and as the pattern goes, nobody liked each other again. Eventually the music they were creating grew heavier and they knew they needed a drummer to dislike as well. Brandon was introduced to drummer Jesus (a person, not a religious icon) and the foursome continued working on songs, being chased out of practicing at Joe's parents houses and eventually taking residence in a rehearsal studio in Arlington. Brandon introduced the name "Asunder" to the band after a lengthy battle with the Arlington city sewer system (ask him about it sometime) and after 6 months, they had enough music together to play their first show at the Acoustic Chaos show at the Liquid Lounge in Deep Ellum, February 2005. Joe's significant other introduced the band to her friend, keyboardist Brittany Carson (for now - LaValley eventually). Nobody liked her either. They played shows off and on for the next few months, honing their live show and constantly re-inventing themselves and their sound until finally releasing their debut five song EP, "Home" in March 2006. The very next month, amidst the ever-present-to-every-band-split "artisitic and personal differences", Jesus left the band. A short search and hasty audition later, Dan Crawford became the new drummer, with only a week elapsed without one. And yes, they all hate him, too. And so they go. Writing new songs and progressing as a borderline hard-rock/heavy-metal 5 piece act, playing shows around the metroplex and beyond, Asunder continues to evolve as an exciting and necessary local band, with the sky their only limit.
