The year was 2000 bell-bottoms were in, man had just stepped foot on the moon, the Union had won the Civil War, and a band called Horrible Idea had begun to form. Two brave souls named Kevin and Sean decided to count their chickens before they were hatched and invest everything into a concept: Forming a band that played really good original music. Music that encompassed all of their Influences. Ska songs that morphed into epic metal solos, punk songs that went into ska, and then into some kind of weird Dead Milkmen type stuff, and then back into punk. Whatever came to their minds. After writing a lot of songs, they realized they weren't good enough yet to make their dream a reality. Sean went into seclusion in Djibouti Africa for six months, and practiced sweeps on an old acoustic guitar. He returned with much more knowledge and the skill to make their dream a reality. Kevin had been going to bars and 'hanging out' the entire time, so he remained about the same... They both got out of the Marines, and moved to northern Georgia to set up base.
Kevin met Jinx at a social gathering, and soon the duo became a trio. Jinx had played bass in the Atlanta band Social Awareness, but after awhile, he climbed aboard the Horrible Idea train and became their bassist and comrade. Kevin recruited Chris from Middleport New York. They had gone to school together, and had been in a band called Kaos as young lads. Chris was the guitarist in Horrible Idea from early 2005 until May 2006, when the rest of the band decided that it wasn't working out with him because of some private reasons. His guitar slinging will be missed, but he remains a great friend.
The band has recently recorded a full length album with 19 songs, and is still trying to scrape together enough cash to print the damn thing. For now they just burn hundreds of copies and hand them out to everyone they see. Horrible Idea plans to spread their music, play shows, and continue to do it until their hands become to crippled with arthritis to hold an instrument.
