Steve and I both quit that band in the spring of 2010 and decided to start a new band so we asked Brian to join on bass and we had our friend Zach play lead guitar but he soon left to join the army and that’s when we got Joe to come in as lead guitarist and American Verse was born.

We recently got pulled over in IN, they brought a dog and searched our whole van and all our backpacks, they found a small amount of contraband but luckily no one was arrested, the cops were pretty nice for being IN state troopers, one of them was even quoting Super Troopers with us.
