A Quiet Mind rose from the murky depths of a humble karaoke bar in Corpus Christi, TX. In May 2007, three regular patrons of the bar joined with the bar's own DJ and began the works of what would later become a five piece hard rock orchestra of passion and aggression. In June, they debuted live at KC's Place, the bar the band will always call home. Since then, they have played around Corpus Christi and surrounding areas, and released a four song demo, which thusfar has been distributed for free to anyone at the shows. Their songs range from sappy-regretful-heartache ballads to kick-you-in-the-teeth-and-spit-on-your-mother hard rock scream-alongs. A few members came and went at the start of the band's short career, but they have settled on Steve Vasquez on lead vocals, David Bray and Chris Tapia on guitar and backing vocals, "Dane" on bass, and Chris "Animal" Garza on the drums. With influences ranging from metal, punk rock, and alternative to Billy Idol and Michael Jackson, to big band and even classical, each member comes from a different musical background that when combined, creates quite an interesting mesh of heavy metal guitar riffs, powerful and moving vocals, solid bass lines and multi-influenced drumming that brings the whole package together.
