It all started
when Roger (drums) and Jon (guitar) got kicked out of their bands! yes
kicked out, well actually all the band members left us in both bands but
we see that in the same way, especially when Jon's old band kept the
same members when getting a new member! Jon and Roger had a talk and
decided that they were not gonna take anymore bullshit from anyone!! So
with a new 'Fuck You' attitude they went on the look out for a new
bassist!! Well that's when Andy came in. Andy plays in two other more
popular bands called 'End It On This' and 'Anad', but being very good
friends with us he decided to help us out and play with us as a
PERMANENT bass player.
Now, being the stupid idiots that we are, we said we would play a gig
before we had actually made any songs, actually we hadn't even practiced
yet!! So we had a mission and I don't want to bore you with the full
story but we had about three practices, one was at the church next door
to my house, two in college and we managed to pull together 6 songs 3 of
our own and 3 covers! we did the gig on the 17th of Feb and we all think
it went flipping well considering we didn't have much time!
After the gig we made a group decision to get rid of all of our songs
apart from one and start from scratch. The idea was to slowly write new
songs making sure that the song were all nice and tight before moving on
to a new song!! We decided on the name DECLINE because Roger wanted to
call us The Decline from the NOFX song.
