9-30-09: The name of the new band is EVERY
THREAT. The overall musical style could be described as a modern-day Black Sabbath heavily shaped by Rush, Iron Maiden,
King's X, and Jimi Hendrix. John is working with 2 amazing musicians, drummer Joel Herbert and guitarist Jared
Bird. They have 3 great new songs written, and are about ready to begin auditions for a vocalist/frontperson.
Anyone (male or female) interested in being a part of this new Salt Lake powerhouse should contact the band at every_threat@yahoo.com.
6-17-09: Sadly,
there has been absolutely no interest from local musicians in reforming Nailspine. John is currently working to assemble
musicians for a new project, which will incorporate aspects of thrash, groove, doom, and progressive metal. The new
project has a drummer (as well as John on bass), and they are currently auditioning guitarists. If interested in auditioning
(singers too!), please contact John at flon_klar@yahoo.com.
