Artist History We formed with the first lineup of Matt Reker and Al Harley in September 2000, to record our first homemade demo, epynonympously titled. Shortly after the completion of the self titled demo, John Roland, an excellent but mostly unknown bass player, joined CC, cementing the core of the lineup. After a couple lineup changes and heated exchanges, the band finally completed the followup, the double album Spydor in early August of 2001.
