Much like Ganthet, aggravated by the lack of punk-influenced hardcore, Daniel Montgomery and Josh Lily approached Dylan Chadwick about starting a band. Named "GONZ" after Dylan's favorite skater Marc Gonzalez the three started writing songs before they even had a bassist. Dylan went on vacation with his family to Las Vegas and came back with a notebook full of lyrics. They began jamming in Josh Lily's guest bedroom with a myriad of fill in bass players. Finally Dakota Coppage was approached about joining the band, and Gonz was official. Regularly practicing in Dakota's basement(much to his grandmother's chagrin) they thrashed out 3 official songs and a cover of Minor Threat's "I don't wanna hear it." They booked their first show at the State Theater in E-town, playing what was supposed to be Brainzout's last show. (they went on to put out one other release and play a handful more show before [[AJ]] and [[Nate Freas]] moved away to college). | Much like Ganthet, aggravated by the lack of punk-influenced hardcore, Daniel Montgomery and Josh Lily approached Dylan Chadwick about starting a band.
