Indie-Rock with members of The Writing Scar

Members:

Stephen Slaton - guitar and vocals
Cullen Clark - drums
Lindsey Wilts - bass and vocals
Ben Sears -original drummer

(Disbanded in early 2007)

Jettison was started by Stephen in the summer of 2006. He had previously been in Morning Belle. After recording a full-length album with them, Stephen quit Morning Belle to start a band that would fit his writing style better. This band was Jettison. His friend (and former guitar student) Lindsey Wilts had been talking to Stephen about the two of them starting a band for years. Stephen, needing to solidify a lineup, and knowing what a nice singing voice Lindsey had, invited her into the band (this time on bass, rather than guitar). They started playing out with Ben Sears, then switched over to none other than Cullen Clark. Due to personal differences, Jettison disbanded.

-•  Stand Down sucked for a really long time, (like 3 or 4 years,) and then, in the last month or so of its existance, started writing good songs and getting noticed; just in time for its demise.
-•  Sam and Stephen started The Writing Scar.  They had been writing some songs together, and Stephen really wanted to play guitar in a band instead of drums.  They found a bass player and drummer at the same show- Nathan Busse was there in the crowd, watching a band with them called Two Minutes Lost.  The drummer of this band was Cullen Clark.  Sam and Stephen approached the both of them that day, and The Writing Scar was born.
-•  Once The Writing Scar was no more, Stephen joined a band called Morning Belle, with his long-time friend and ex-bandmate (from Stand Down) A.J. Brady.  This band had went through several lineup changes before none other than Cullen Clark (of The Writing Scar) came to play with them.  So there were Stephen and Cullen, playing together again.
