Artist description InValid is a melodic, hardcore, get your ass moving;heavy metal band. We have taken Old School Metal, New Metal/Rap and Old School Rap and created our own sound. The result can be described as nice evil. No, we are not Limp Bizkit in disguise. We did not go out and buy 7 string guitars and pretend to be like Korn. We are 4 guys whom love to play heavy metal music and work our asses off doing so. Our goal as a band is to make the crowd move, no, not move, jump, not, jump, THRASH. There is nothing worse than a band that goes on stage plays there set (standing still) and leaves the crowd saying, “What the hell was that, You mean I paid $5.00 to see those losers and I didn’t even break a sweat!!!” We want you to leave our show battered and bruised, sweaty and smelly. We want you coming back for more, more, more, and more. What good is it to play the tunes if the crowd doesn’t have a good time? WE DON’T EXIST WITHOUT THE CROWD AND THE CROWD CAN’T MOVE WITHOUT US, those are the words we live and play by.

Artist History History is still to be written!!

Group Members Chuck Payton (22)- Lead vocals. The guy is a mad man. If your not moving he will jump off stage and make you move. His intense, rhythmic, and gut wrenching vocals will leave you in awe. Influences include Pantera, Metallica, Deftones, and Anthrax. Jeff Lockhart (21)- Drummer/Song Writer. Believe it or not a drummer that can actually write a song, naturally all the women like him the best. He likes to write double bass drum licks and crash the shit out his cymbals. He really digs 80’s metal (Motley Crue, Megadeth, Iron Maiden, Slayer).Brian Fisher (23)- Bass. He’s our oak. Brian is the strong silent type, he keeps us all from getting out of wack. His bass riffs are melodic, but powerful. Never try to out drink him. Many have tried and failed. Old school punk influences him heavily. Recently, Slipknot has really caught his attention, you can tell from his bass licks. Slow down brother!!! Dave Lynn (23) - Lead-Rhythm guitars/Backup Vocals/Song Writer. The lick master, this guy has come up with the majority of our badass riffs. He is a heavy metal guitarist to the bone; Eats, Sleeps, Shits heavy metal music. Guys watch your girls around this guy, Casanova at work. Influences include: Pantera, Deftones, Machine Head, and Megadeth.
