r.h.Factor
r.h.Factor is no more.
In the summer of 1996 Justin got his drum set. Matthew would come over and write words to go along with the drum beats. Sometimes C.J. would come over with his things and jam but we were not an official band yet. Matthew was supposed to record C.J. playing guitar with the shitty recording equiptment but that never happened. One day at school C.J. had made one original song and Matthew set out to write words for it and another one. On January 10th,1997 after school we wrote and recorded a whole tape of songs. Now Vanity was born. We had played a couple of times and recorded a lot and in August of 1997 we needed a new name. We than called ourselves Paraside for about a week and ond day we found the magical name of Rh Factor in the dictionary. We played a bit more and shortly after of being a band for one year, in February of 1998 we have a new second guitarist, Brad Foster. Very soon cj left the band because we could not get along any more. Now we have a bass player Peter Ball, the guitar player from DROWNd. In January of 1999 we were released on Saint John's Finest compilation. Our track was "I Can't Breathe".
(story written by Matthew Wilson and Justin Crosby, 1998).
In April of 1999, we played our last show at The Dumont (Mars Bar), wtih DROWNd, amused and Jaww (Toronto). Little did we know that it would be our last time playing together.
r.h.Factor line-up:
Justin Crosby-drums (1997-1999)
Matthew Wilson-vocals (1997-1999)
C.J. Owen-guitar (1997-1998)
Brad Foster-guitar (1998-1999)
Peter Ball-guitar (1998-1999)
r.h.Factor was an interesting experience, and hopefully we will be remembered as Saint John's youngest metal band, but Mike Belyea from amused said that our music should be called coma metal.
This is the first time ever these songs have been made public:
