Members:
_Gaz: learned guitar from a very young age and has been having
lessons for years. He is the main member of band in the way that he
writes most of the songs. Always looks like he is drunk and/or high. He
goes crazy on stage, everyone thinks there is something wrong with him.
His influences are bands such as: Rise Against, Sum 41, Strike Anywhere
e.t.c.
Stu: Stu is the quiet one. He always stays out of the way but when he gets out on stage, he goes mental! He’s always jumping off of things and crowd surfing and generally costing the band a lot of money to repair all the things he breaks. He loves all things heavy metal! Metallica, Slayer, Trivium, Slipknot, he’s heard them all.
John: Been playing drums since he was in the womb pretty much, can play anything from late 80’s German lounge jazz to the heaviest most brutal death metal imaginable. He was inspired from a young age to pick up a set of drum sticks by punk bands such as Alkaline Trio, Strung Out, Rise Against and Bad Religion.
Kevin: Kevin is the least experienced member of the band and had not been in any bands before The Thing unlike the others. He has only been playing bass for a couple of years but he is a quick learner and as soon as he first picked up a bass guitar, he knew that was what he wanted to do with his life. He is mainly influenced by grunge bands like: Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, Nirvana and Kurt Cobain is his idol.

Biography:
_ The Thing are a Band from The town of Penrith, England. The band has
been around now for just over a year but surprisingly has not written
many songs. The Thing was formed by four friends from high school In
early 2011 and begun making a name for themselves doing gigs in local
pubs e.t.c. around their home town of Penrith. They are not a well known
band despite being around for over a year now but have big aspirations
(just like every other band on here) and want to make it big.
The members of The Thing enjoy creating new songs and records but often
cannot agree on a sound and try to cover most genres out there. The
Thing were formerly known as As Daylight Dies but had to change their
name due to there already being a heavy metal band with the same name.
The Thing have released an EP titled ‘As Daylight Dies’ in November 2011
but were rather underwhelmed with the finished record and are keen to
put out an album very soon. The new album will feature some songs from
their EP which have a quite dark, yet punky sound, and many new songs,
some of which sounding much heavier, and some sounding lighter that the
last. Their new album has not been named yet but will be released
hopefully in spring 2012 for free download on Mediafire and other
popular download sites.
