Description
Hardcore/Nu-Metal band from Vidor, TX.....right outside of Beaumont. The Birth of Typecast actually occured 4 years ago at the Kenefick: Kenehick-Rock-Fest. This is where James and Jesse first met. They were each in another band playing, which is what they do best. They decided they wanted to jam together, from then on they went through several bassists and vocalist. At one point they were really steady with some guys ,got organized, and created the band Phil-in-the-Blank. This lasted for about a year and then their singer and bassist both left. So, James and Jesse sought out to find another bassist and vocalist. Well then came in Steven, who at the time actually played guitar. He quickly picked up the bass and has become a very exceptional bass player ever since. They came together very quickly and formed the early Typecast. They found a vocalist named Kris and moved in a Hard Rock Alternative style of music. With Kris Typecast went pretty far selling thousands of copies of their self-titled full album cd. Then Typecast took a turn. They found a new vocalist John who brought them in a Metalcore/NuMetal/Experimental direction. Since then Typecast has practicing weekly, having 2 to 3 shows a week. In November of 2004, Typecast's guitarist James underwent reconstructive surgery on his leg. This put Typecast out of commision for several weeks. Never the less the band has been doing major promoting. Aquiring T-shirts, recording and distrubiting demos. The band has been hard at work getting their name out trying to make use of the much-appreciated time. Typecast is a band who knows hard work and what it takes to make it in this industry. They have alot of friends and family who give them support and push them to do better. Special thanks to everyone who has helped or been there for Typecast from the beginning. And much love goes out to everyone in "The Crew".
