    Artist History
    Pointless has been together since the end of 1995. They first formed in a small studio in Escondido, California. The band had played numerous shows and venues before record recording their first album, a 10 song LP called, "Circle of Friends". Soon after finishing the album some drastic changes were made. Pointless lost their vocalist Ben Pincock and guitarist Mitch Landis to some reasons of their own. A couple of months later they picked up Andrew Talliole who brought both new guitar and lead vocal styles. Pointless also picked up one of their old guitarist Matt Walker, a.k.a. "Matt Rocker," who added the style and music they were looking for. After performing for over a year, Pointless headed back into the studio to record a 5 song EP, “Learn to Fly.” Shortly after some changes were made in the line-up. In August 2001, original singer Ben Picock returned home and Pointless released a demo CD called, "Rocky Road". New times have arrived...and after a small draught, the band has picked up guitarist Jeremy Savitt. The band is back and ROCKIN' once again with all new material.
