Band

This small organization is made up of four members, each of which contributes to the all-original sound. The band first started in 1988 when Jon and Brandon Weil (Guitar, Drums) picked up their respective instruments and began to jam, even writing original compositions. The brothers worked together with many other singers and bassists, until March of '96 when Sunir Patel replaced Ricky Roth on the bass. By this time, Sunir had already been jamming with the Weils for years. In the summer of 1997 Mike Ward (Vocals) was asked to rehearse with the band. He was a poet with no professional singing experience, but the proof was in the pudding. Ward's hip-hop style changed and enriched the bands music with a new sound and attitude.

Since then, Busticles has been playing clubs and looking to ruin the city of Phoenix and eventually the world. Everything- financing, recording, producing, engineering, art design- is always done by the band themselves. Their songs represent an overall history of the band's growth. Several of the songs are four years old; but most are more recent. Thousands of recordings have been distributed so far. If you get in their way, you just might lose your hearing and soul...
