Artist History 12GAUGE started as a musical kinship between guitarist Will Heaslip and ex-vocalist Trevor Keen. The majority of the songs were written by these two people. The addition of Eric Elliot on drums solidified the team. After the leaving of their bassist, Will was contacted by Memnoch bassist Nick Rogers about filling the spot. At this time, Memnoch was in the process of breaking up, so it just seemed natural that Nick join 12GAUGE. He had sat in on early sessions and heard the very first demo tapes, so his acclimation into the band was a short one. Now, 12GAUGE is ready to confront and destroy with their ass kicking heavy metal!
