Justin was about 11 when he first picked up a guitar.He immedietly fell in love.He started out with covers like Smoke on the Water and Brainstew and now plays his own originals.He started out listening to bands like Korn,RATM,and Stevie Ray Vaughn.Now he listens to his idol, SLIPKNOT.He decided to play guitar because of his stepdad,the guitar god, Craig Culhane. Justin met Steve only months after he started playing through another guitar player, Donny Vincent.They started a band called Fatal Impact but it fell through cause nobody was good enough to play. Three years later Justin got a phone call from Steven asking to join a band.At first,he was unsure if he should but Steve kept on calling so he decided to try it.He loved it!At first the band was a cover band.It consisted of Donny Vincent, Harold Watts, Steven Obuch,and Justin Helton.Justin decided to write some originals but Donny wanted to be a cover band so he quit.Steve on the other hand,loved the idea and wrote some awesome drum beats to the songs.Harold liked it too but rather than play bass,he wanted to sing (big mistake).So, they got Will Durance for bass and booked for a show immedietly(another big mistake).Will didn't know how to play but that didn't stop Harold,Justin,and Steve from playing the show.They just got Craig Culhane to fill in.They played a great show.Oh and by the way him and Steve named the band Kapital Punisment. Justin owes his ability to even play the guitar to his step-dad Craig Culhane who is in both a metal and blues band.He gives "props" to Craig.
