Biography

In April of 2006, Jason Brown and Scot Long (both formerly of Undone and Preshus) got together and started to write some new material. It became evident that the music was more aggressive than their recent venture and satisfied their cravings for thrash/metalcore music. Once content with their small collection of tentatively finished songs ... they went on the search for additional members.

Newcomer, Rodney Barnett, filled the position of Rhythm and Lead guitarist and immediately began to contribute intricately written riffs. Garrett Grubbs (formerly of 15 Minutes of Shame) signed on as the Bass player and rounded out the tightly knit rhythm section with drummer Jason Brown. The search then began for a frontman/singer. Chris Rutherford (former singer for Preshus) instantly came to mind. He joined as soon as he heard the band rehearse their material. Thousand Yard Stare was complete.

Musical influences range from Unearth, God Forbid and Hatebreed to Iron Maiden, Winter Solstice and InFlames. Their goal is to make music by incorporating the things they love to hear: dual guitar harmonies and leads, bass breaks, acoustic transitions and heavy breakdowns. Lyrical concepts range from social isolation to the inevitability of death and our inability to achieve perfection. The lyrics are personal and reflect emotion on all levels. The music is intense and merges melody with aggression. Thousand Yard Stare promises a good show and looks forward to getting your comments and feedback about their music.
