Artist description Biography of Caste System Out of the corners and depths of what is today called underground, a band is formed. Caste System, which meaning holds truth in four dedicated individuals. Coming together, each with their own unique and talented style, the band found that their inner aggressions could be unleashed. Originating in the little town of Bakersfield, CA, Caste System became the epiphany of underground rock. The vision for the band came to Matt Wilson(drummer), and with a few calls and days later the band met up. Matt W., the backbone, with his wicked drum beats and unpredictable behavior, brings the whole “System” together. Without sleep, day and night he pushes the limit of success. Next we have the rad riffs of Matt C. By far one of the most talented guitarists in Bakersfield, Matt is the creator. Bringing to the group each day a new energy for all to comprehend. With these two pieces to the puzzle united it still lacked a certain feeling or perhaps an emotion. Then yet another addition with the depth and bass to the “System”, Patrick McFaddin was called, bringing the band together in a certain pathological way. With a straight face and a fast imagination, Patrick will turn any song into a whirlpool of obliviation. Still missing a specific connection, one more call was made. Shane Elliott, with a mind full of hatred and grudges, was the last missing piece of the “System”. For him and the rest of the band, this is life and Shane has a lot to write about. From a broken and drug filled background, his lyrics have a sort of dark emotion that people can relate to. The dedication of this band can’t be explained in one word, but in the way they perform on stage. It is what they are, it is all they have, and this is what they live for. In order to make a perfect sound that represents what the group, it takes many hours of practice and accountability among each other. The amount of time that each member puts in to these practices and shows, no one will understand until they have experienced it themselves. When someone will do anything and everything to make something happen that is dedication that nobody but your band mates will offer. When Caste System plays a show, the energy and emotion that is released from the stage is extremely generous and overwhelming. The music is portrayed in a way that can relate to everyone and anyone that hears it. The whole point of their music is to let the emotion do the talking for once and not take any prisoners. There is no other feeling then the one of knowing that someone else has been through the same stuff that they have. It is almost a feeling of relief. When Caste System plays a show, no matter where it is, there is always the same crowd that shows their dedication to the band. They always seem to pull in more and more of a fan base and they always want more. In order to show the bands appreciation for the fans, they always give them stickers and cd’s and t-shirts so the fans can represent the band in other ways.
