Artist History In the beginning there was Wicked Submission, formed in '94 and playing out with next to no experience, this band only had six songs so they played them twice per show. With Marcus Dryburgh on vocals and guitar, Brett Keller on Bass, and Dom Nardozzi on drums they were good but rough around the edges. Exit drummer Dom Nardozzi. Enter Dan Valentine, heavier, harder and with a backbeat approach. Shortly after, Brett quit. He was replaced by Steve Matsko, who added his vocal abilities as well as exceptional bass skills. The band once called Wicked Submission now had only one founding member, Marc Dryburgh. Changing the members changed the sound. Wicked Submission was dead, they needed a new name. Stomping Weary was born. For the past year SW has been playing as many shows as they can get their hands on. With its head in the clouds, its feet feet on the ground, and its eyes firmly fixed on the future, Stomping Weary will be coming soon to an ear near you.
