Artist description Richard and Mike have done all the music in a home studio the size of a bathroom. The only recording device used was the Roland VS-880. Both Mike and Richard work for chemical manufactuing facilities. Music is it for us. We work and jam. Mike and Rich have collaborated for a couple of years now. The first album was put out under the band title "Endorphin" which ultimately wasn't original enough to use. We liked it because the endorphin's just seep when we are playing. So, it was back to the drawing board and we came to agree on GOOD2BAD. That's a pretty good description for these guys. They take good music and make it bad as hell. We've sold a good number of this album under Endorphin but now it's time for you to get a chance to hear our originals . Kick your shoes off, crack the top off of it and enjoy. We look forward to hearing from you.

Music Style Rock, Blues, Jazz, Funk, Fusion, and a tiny bit Country.

Musical Influences The greats like the Doors, Hendricks, the 60's through the 80's. We're in there as far as what we listen to. If it's music we'll listen!

Similar Artists The Average White Band, Steely Dan, and mostly we sound like ourselves. We are compelled to sound like no one we look up to. We are GOOD2BAD and no one else. Who do you think we sound like?

Artist History Mike started playing guitar straight from the womb. He's played with various artists through the years. His skills drove him to get serious. He started to write music in the early ninties. This skill has developed into what you hear today and keeps people interested and following us around. They want to know what we're doing. Right now we're back in the studio writing. Richard has played percussions for as long as he can remember. He's played for several garage bands, playing the greats like the Beatles and Led Zepplin. He found himself soon after in a long standing band called the Nashville Trend. He played with them for about four years doing the Indianapolis scene and surounding towns. It was here that he started to sing. The more he did, the more people pushed him to, so here they are for your listening enjoyment. ENJOY!

Group Members Richard Long, Mike Braun. Through the years they have developed a working relationship with several artist who are at the top of the heap when it comes to talent. Mike and Richard are the writers of this monster debut.

Instruments You hear em'! Guitars, keys, digital drums. The basics used to create this sound that is unique.

Albums Endorphin/Good2Bad are the same. Working on the second album now which is turning out to be dynamite! You just wait.

Press Reviews We threw a penny in the wishing well. As if the media doesn't have enough to say! Hopefully we don't end up on the Springer show! Damn that would suck. Fifteen minutes of fame to be an ass for the rest of your life. We'll toot our horn if the "press" cares about our music. All that matters is that you do.

Additional Info The song Witch Fish was done with help that must be recognized. Jeff Eldridge played the acoustic drums and Jay Rifkind played the sax track. Both were an asset to the song. Thanks again you two. Outside of that we must thank Jeff Stiner of Emotional Fusion for pushing us to get the album out. He believes in us! For the artists who helped us play it live, A.J., Chris, and of course Jeff. Last but not least Marisa N. Long for taking the photo's. She's getting the "photographers eye". Also to Velda, she's damn good at graphic art as you can well see and lets not forget the devine being that made it all.
