Group Members Damon DeGraded: Rhythm guitar and vocals. He was in a hardcore band in Poulsbo that played a couple shows and also has played a few solo shows. He writes the really political songs (most the songs). He’s also the only member of The Degraded who isn’t a minor. “Three Fingers” Josh: Bass, driver, occasional vocals (if he’s been drinking). Josh has played with numerous noisy bands, and a few quiet ones. He will never drink vodka again. Justin R: Lead guitar and vocals. This is Justin’s first band that didn’t suck. He writes really short songs with very few lyrics. He’s VERY loud and is a magnet for pain. He and his equipment are constantly getting damaged. Justin H: Drummer and vocals, occasional lyricist, webmaster, booking. This is Justin’s first band that didn’t suck. He’s a smart-ass to everyone, but he’s a damned good drummer.

Instruments 2 guitars, bass, drums
