An Industry of Cool

Several years ago I was in a rock band called the Brannock Device. We rocked as hard as we knew how but I guess we just didn't rock hard enough. We recorded an EP and then broke up immediately afterward without even playing a cd release party. Only 100 copies were printed and most found their way into the hands of our closest friends but even then some people didn't get one. As much as we all think we could have made this better it still isn't that bad and I think some people out there might enjoy it. I think we put too much work into it for people to not even have the chance to get it.

Here's the lineup for you Erie Rock 'n Roll history buffs.

Vocals-Bob Doerr (later of Midnight Jacks and No Grave But The Sea)
Guitar-Ron (me) Freeman (later of Better For Nothing, Girls Without Boyfriends, and the Deaf Kids)
Guitar-Chris Vogt (later of Better For Nothing, Tiramisu Overdose, and the Deaf Kids)
Bass-Steve Crane (later of the Midnight Jacks and Girls Without Boyfriends)
Drums-Jason Titus (later of Better For Nothing, Tiramisu Overdose, The Balkans, and Girls Without Boyfriends)

As you can see most of the guys joined me in bands later. Jason Titus maintained a very thourough site documenting a lot of the recording going on at this time and all the other projects that he was involved with which included most of us at some point.
