Artist History Section 16 was founded in February 1999 by former members of power progressive metal band PSYCO DRAMA and other talented Colorado acts YOUR MOTHER'S NEXT and JADED SOUL. After PSYCO DRAMA disbanded in late 1998, Corey Brown, Ian Ringler, and Toby Kinnaman were not ready to give up. The idea of continuing under the name Section 16 prompted the addition of former Psyco Drama guitarist Hercules Castro. The band was completed when drummer Jeremy Hoffman of Colorado Springs metal act Jaded Soul joined this talented line-up. Corey’s wide vocal range combined with Toby and Hercules’ hard hitting guitar grooves are paving the way for this up and coming band. With the addition of thunderous bass and drums which Ian and Jeremy provide, the band is described as sounding in the vain of Tool, Seven Dust and A Perfect Circle. Section 16 has begun pre-production of new material in the studio and is currently looking for a label that is willing to support their innovative style of song writing which consists of interesting melodies with serious groove. The group intends to begin where Psyco Drama left off by surpassing efforts which include the CDs "The Illusion" and "Bent", which gained extensive recognition throughout the world. Other plans include promoting their unique sound by continuing to open for the best national and international acts as they come through the region.
