Scott Allan - Drums
Scott has been playing drums since middle school and would usually get detention for drumming on the desk. He and Rodrigo have been best friends in high school and found Eric and Sebastian wanting to start a band. He had to leave the band temporarily in highschool due to grades. But after their final year in highschool for Battle of the Bands, he joined back in.
Past members:
Derek Hanson - drums (Magma Stone)
Derek was the temporary new drummer for Magma Stone after Eric had to leave to improve his grades. He loves playing in bands and wants to form one himself. He also plays piano and guitar. He currently plays in a band called Semper Fi.
Mitchell Boon - Second lead guitarist
Mitchell Boon was a douche. He was the replacement for Rodrigo Gordon and was the biggest upset of the band's career. His self-centered attitude had made the band release the worst Nightshock album that fans did not like, and it was only for his music only (which sucked). Mitchell was finally kicked out of the band after Rodrigo came back and embarassed him at a show.
