Band Mission Statement:
FaceKicker was borne out of the love for all things metal, punk, and surf in 2018 by two fine gentlemen who were lookin for rock in all the wrong places. We have one goal - to Kick your Face in with hard hitting punk rock until your mind is jello, your ears bleed, you pee your pants, and you are sore the next morning in places that you can't talk about at the office.
The Band:
JBONE - Vox, Bass, Washboard. JBone grew up in the friendly frozen land of Canada, where he consumed a steady diet of raw onion sandwiches, Tim Horton's donuts, Neil Young, Rush, Teenage Head, and lots of other punk-metal-disco-psychodelicious tunage. After playing in a few bands in Halifax, he moved stateside where he was a founding member of Boston bands Munky and Spent Salmon. After moving to the more humane weather of Northern California, he started jamming with an axe slinger named TBone, and FaceKicker was born!
TBONE - Vox, Guitars, Maracas and Oboe. Liable for all band pyrotechnics, catering services, and GPS navigation for FaceKicker. TBONE grew up in Orange County, a haven for amazing surf/punk/rock music since the 60’s. In between charging closed out sets at the Wedge and El Moro, TBONE burned up the fretboard in front of a mirror, spoon fed by: X, DK’s, Black Flag, B-52’s, DEVO, Ventures, Dick Dale, Zep, Hendrix, and Aerosmith to name a few. After searching for decades for his musical mirror image, he ran into JBONE in a barbershop one day and since then the volume knob only has only turned clockwise! Mix all of that up in a blender and you have the ingredients for a delicious FaceKicker shake!!!
DBONE - BEATS, SKINS, SPOONS, RHYTHM UNIT, BAND SARCASTIC HUMOR CHAIR, MISINFORMATION FACT CHECKER, AND HEAD of EnVIRONMENTAL HEALTH AND SAFETY (BUT NOT REALLY). Hails from SAC TOWN California where Rock and Roll was king, and where disco never really lived. Irritated parents to no end with tapping and banging on various appliances, furniture, and siblings. Played drums in numerous Rock bands, focused primarily on being loud, crazy, and not contributing too much to society. fan of Zeppelin, Sabbath, and Aerosmith. Drumming Influences include John Bonham, Tommy Aldridge, but mostly Animal from the muppets.
Feeling thankful for being part of this band and looking forward to kicking some faces!
