BRING THE KNIFE (2009-) This a brand new metal project. Check it out here.
DESTRUCT-A-THON (2001 - 2004, 2006-2009) This band started off as a joke when I came home from tour and ended up being 9 years of my life. After a few months, we stopped writing "funny" songs and got down to business. I released our record "Es Muerto" on my own label (Thrashachusetts) in 2006. Our EP Aloha Jihad came out in 2008. We did an East Coast U.S. tour in the fall of 2008. We disbanded in the fall of 2009. We will be releasing our last demos at some point. In my opinion the music is best described as "hook-laden metal" with a definate influence from Slayer, The Melvins, Black Flag,, and Kyuss. The members are/were (besides me): Michele Morgan (guitars, vox, the whole time, also played in Stu Walker), Nate Linehan (ex-A.C., Drums 2001-2002), Sean Linehan (Bass 2001-2003, 2006-2009), Eric O'Brien (ex-Honkeyball, Drums 2002-2003, 2006-2009), Ed Bredenderg (ex-Stoves, Bass 2003-2004, guitar 2006-2008), Eman Pacheco (ex-Guernica, ex-Sancara, Kill It All Away, Drums 2003-2004). Patti The Gimp (guitar 2009). We broke up in 2004, and started practicing again in 2006 for the release of Es Muerto. We were pretty active between 2006 and 2009, playing the WBCN Rumble in 2009.

KILL IT ALL AWAY (2004-2006)
When D-Thon called it a day in 2004, drummer Eman Pacheco and I started jamming on some new stuff. I had my accident with my Dad and that derailed us for a while, but our first real show was one of my benefit shows to pay my medical bills. This was kind of the next step musically after Destruct-a-thon, still metal but heavier and with crazier time changes. Eman is an incredible drummer and he has awesome ideas for song writing. We recorded an EP with some of our favorite vocalists doing cameos: Jet from Sam Black Church, Jonah from Only Living Witness, and Chico (Eman's brother) from Closed Casket. It will be released on the "Workaholica" box set which includes Destruct-a-thon "Es Muerto (2001-2004), and Duncan Wilder Johnson Has A Short Guy Complex (Spoken Word #4).
Kill It All Away is currently not in active duty, but you never know when we'll be called back into action.
DUNCAN WILDER JOHNSON and TS MIKE CARNES (2005)
Short lived. We played one show. We played some Destruct-a-thon and a KIAA song, some new stuff, and a Jawbreaker song. Hopefully we'll record the two songs we wrote and do a 7".
GREEN MACHINE (2005)
This is when 3 of the dudes from Seemless (Derek, Jeff, and Jesse), along with Dave Witham from Of The Hour, Frank Pino from Waltham, and I perform Kyuss and QOTSA songs. It was all Derek's idea and when Shawn from Beyond The Embrace couldn't do the gig, I jumped up on stage with hardly any preperation and did the set. It's fun!
Haven't played in a while. Don't know if and/or when we will again.
HIGH ROCKTAINE (2004)
This was an idea that Jesse Sherman (Bury The Needle, .45 to pay the rent, the bizmark, the call up) and Tara Feely had: play classic metal, punk, and hardcore but do it kareokee! I only did one show with this because by the second show I had a photo exhibition, and by the third show I had my accident with my Dad. So, Scott from Drawing Dead replaced me and I think he was a good fit.
High Rocktaine is not currently active.
SISTER SILVER (1999)
Oh dude... Okay, so the Oni Gallery guys (Tim Bailey, Brendon Downey, Luke Roddy, Scott Williamson and others) had this idea to make percussive sound art from left over scrap metal out of Tim's Dad's garage. Eventually, it got very "performance oriented" and we were all naked, covered in silver body paint, in a room plastered with tin foil and high powered lights flashing off! Horray for art school.
HILLSIDE 176 (aka THE SATONES, 1998)
This was the band I did when I was still at Mass Art. It was heavy. I played guitar and screamed, Jaime McCracken played bass and screamed, Jason (J5) Figuerido played guitar and screamed, Adam Black played drums at first, but quit and was replaced by Tim "Mr. B" Bailey (who now rocks with The Humanoids).
AFTER THE FACT (1994-1995)
High School back in Upton. Our biggest claim to fame is that we opened up for the mighty Sam Black Church at St. John's Gym in Clinton (Cast Iron Hike and Jasta 14 also played). I sang, Chris Johnson played drums, Clint Spears played guitar, but was replaced by Shawn Rounds (Overcast), and John "Chezzy" Chesna played bass. It was metal.
TWO MINUTE HATE (1992)
We played two shows: 1. The infamous battle of the bands at Uxbridge High when Vomit headlined and people started moshing unril the cops showed up and started beating people up. 2. Some party in Holliston.
This was a band I did with Matt Johnston, Andrew Usher, and a ton of kids from Holliston, MA. We played ska (or what we thought was ska, I was 15, give me a break).
AUSLOUCHEN (1991)
Punk Rock in Andrew Ushers basement in Upton, MA. Matt Johnston on vocals, Andrew on Drums, Jonny Searles on bass, and me on guitar. Never played one show, but we did make stickers. I forget what Auslouchen ment, but it was one of Matt's stupid ideas from his German facination.
THE MUSHROOM MEN (We had a million names, but more to the point we just went skateboarding... 1990)
First band ever. Basically it was junior high kids making noise in Upton, MA between attempts at the launch ramp. I sang and played guitar, Jonny Searles played bass, Andrew Usher played drums, Chris and Tom Gouch did stuff. We all switched around. We never played a show or anything, but it was the beginning...
