Blood Stands Still

Originally formed in 1999. It all started when Dan and Art were tired of the state of hardcore and wanted to make something heavy and hard, but without the cheesiness of the bands that were out around that time. The first line up consisted of Art Banura (drums), Mike Teal (bass), Rob Escamilla (vocals) Aaron Von Geese (Vocals), Aric Taylor (guitar), and Dan Banura (guitar). This lineup lasted about a year. Rob leaves to go pursue his military career. Leaving Aaron as vocals. Mike leaves the band and Aric starts playing bass. At this time the 2002 demo and Egotrip split are released. Soon after the release of those Aric decides to leave and good friend Dave Collins joins in on bass. This line up last about another year. Then Aaron and Dave decide to leave. Mike joins back up and a new singer is thrown in the mix, Danny Stella. At this time they release the 2003 demo, and shortly after the Create Only To Destroy full length. On the first tour that Danny does, he decides touring is not for him. 5 days into the tour Dan decides to call long time friend Mark Williams, he flies out and finishes the rest of the tour. Mark decides to stay in the band and the 2004 demo is released. The line up now consists of Art (drums), Mike (bass), Mark (vocals), Dan (guitar). Since then Blood Stands Still has been going strong. Recently signing to Mediaskare, things are only looking up for this band.
