Re-Form


Biography (source: Re-Form official page) : 
In the spring of 2000, Re-Form was born. Charlie Gangi, a bassist from Central Florida, was tired of trying to push his band in a new direction. At the same time, in the Daytona Beach area, with a rival band, Owen Trafford was drumming endless shows stuck in a band that was going nowhere. Charlie and Owen soon found themselves wanting to play something more than the same old punk the other bands were offering. Charlie moved to the guitar and lead vocals while Owen pushed himself to become a better drummer. After jamming and writing together for a month, they added a new guitar player to the mix. The addition of the new guy was short lived; he was out before he was in. In the following month, Charlie was in California surfing in the college national championships. A chance meeting with fellow Florida surfer, Dennis "Jammer' Samolinski, and Charlie had found the guy he was looking for. Dennis was from the same area and had a quirky yet solid-as-a-rock guitar style. The addition of Dennis added a loose reggae feel to some of the harder edge punk songs that Charlie and Owen had been writing. Drawing from influences like Sublime, Bad Religion and Lagwagon, solid songs soon emerged.
