Starting as a pet project for fed up musicians Daemon Phillips and R.J. Singleton. Pandoras Box became something that neither one could possibly imagine. Hailing from other projects, Daemon, from the monstrously successful 'Silent Rage' and R.J. from 'Collin's Dream', both of them were tired of the local music scene. What happened after the soon to be historic collaboration is evident in the music. After putting together several songs for the upcoming CD, they decided to add the musicians necessary for the live performance of the music. Bassist Scott Kidwell and guitarist Bryan Deweese were soon part of the 'family'...now the fun begins. The project, recorded in the gilded halls of Northwest Knights Studios (Daemon's basement...no...seriously), has been completely free of any corporate involvement. Produced by: Daemon Phillips and Co-produced by: R.J. Singleton
The group consists of:
Daemon Phillips: Lead and Rhythm guitar, Guitar synth, Vocals, Producer | R.J. Singleton: Drums, percussion, backing vocals, Co-producer | Scott Kidwell: Bass, backing vocals | Bryan Deweese: Rhythm Guitar, Guitar Synth, backing vocals
