Artist History Brothers Joseph and Justin Scro met Ryan Aylward in 1996 and eventually began playing music together in the year 2000 with a variety of other players before slimming down to a trio and forming their first band, Godf$ck. Deciding that no one would get the joke, Ryan, Justin, and Joseph changed their name to Camera in 2002 after their love and background in film. Their newest demos were produced by themselves, for free in the basement of 809 Walden Court; Joseph and Justin's family home in early 2003.

Press Reviews I am very impressed with these guys. Not only are they good musicians, but they seem to be pushing the musical envelope with unique lyrics, and playing ability that I haven't seen or heard in bands lately. Not that they sound like them, but they have the same uniqueness as the beginnings of Led Zeppelin. Vocal and playing styles can change from one song to the next so dramatically that you wonder if it's another group of guys altogether. Some record companies don't like that, but personally, I don't want to hear a CD where every song sounds the same as the one before. You may find it hard to pigeonhole Camera completely into one genre, but if you tried to do that with the Beatles you would be out of luck too. To me Justin, Joe, and Ryan are like their band's namesake "Camera" in the sense that if you take a camera out to shoot pictures, you don't just take pictures of the color green, you want the whole rainbow. This Camera gives you everything you could want, and leaves you wanting more. Some of the songs I personally like are: She Wants Out, This Crazy Place, and Ros Matter - Recording Artist Michael Peace

Additional Info All songs written and recorded in a basement, by Camera, for free.
