Down
In Flames is Brent Nicholls, Grant Klacko, Will Burgess, Matt
Deschamps, and Franz-Paul Stefanik. We were established on August 12th 2002 when a mission
to buy cat food had gone horribly wrong. The original concept was to play all music from
1996(the best year in music) having Grant on the drums. Will on guitar and Brent playing bass and
singing. After that plan had went Down In Flames a new band and a new name were spawned. We picked
our drummer Matt next who added a lot to the band and then we started playing some punk
songs, our first being Goldfinger's 99 Red Balloons. As time went on we started switching
up instruments a bit more. Since Matt was now our drummer, Grant was now playing guitar, bass
and even trumpet. Whereas Will and Brent would alternate between bass and guitar. After
playing for a couple months with this set up, we then realized we needed more brass for certain
songs that we played, and so we recruited trumpet player Dan Heckman to the mix. Then when we
thought we could have no more Franz-Paul Stefanik came along with his mighty saxophone and the
hits just keep on coming. At this point we began to get a good sound going and we feel we are ready
to pursue our goal of bringing this town Justice for all, Peace and Harmony and above all fine
quality SKA!
