Brian Viglione

Brian Viglione, along with Amanda Palmer, make up the band The Dresden Dolls. Viglione's main role in the band is that of drummer, although he does bass, guitar, vocals and some other things occasionally, while Palmer plays the piano and leads vocals.

The Plot In You

The Plot in You is a metalcore 5-piece originally starting as a side-project of former Before Their Eyes (Rise Records) guitarist/vocalist, Landon Tewers, quickly became his main focus. Forming in Findlay, OH after parting ways with BTE, a solid line-up for the band was formed and work on their debut EP was underway. "Wife Beater" (InVogue Records) was both heavy as well as haunting, where lyrically Tewers gives you a look inside the lives of people he has come into contact with over the years.
