SurciS was first named S.T.D so here's the std bio 'cause Im lazy
S.T.D originally formed as a garage band in 1994. The original members were/  Josh Arrow: Guitar
                             Thomas Stokes: Guitar
                             Andrew McCurdy: Bass and Vocals
                             Adam Willis: Drums
     Then S.T.D recruited another member to sing Lindsay Butler. They spent most of their time playing cover songs by bands such as Metallica, Korn, Nirvana, Offspring, Rage against the Machine and various other bands. S.T.D then started playing at parties and school assemblies. One assembly they were going to play at was their year 10 assembly they were going to play Blind by Korn. They were totally prepared and ready to play when just after they had finished setting up their equipment their teacher said we weren't allowed to play Blind But we could play Enter Sandman by Metallica. Enter Sandman is a good song but we wanted to finish year 10 by absolutely going crazy and Blind is the perfect song to achieve this. Agreeably slightly pissed off we told the teachers to shove it up their ass and we didn't play anything.
     None of us left school we all decided to go to year 11. We continued playing at assemblies for awhile until me and Thomas realized how much further we could go but we could only go there if we got rid of Adam. Adam was a good drummer but he just didn't have the commitment to practice at home or with the rest of us so he was left behind as the rest of us started to improve on our sound and style. After getting rid of Adam, Thomas took up the drums, (he was already better then Adam Because he practiced a lot with his brothers drum kit) we started to learn some songs by Coal Chamber, Deftones and even Marilyn Manson. I was happy with the way we were heading but I caught a few hints from Lindsay that he wasn't serious about the band. We didn't actually kick him out we just organized practices without inviting him (still to this day he still thinks he's in the band). Now without a full-time singer we just played all our songs without vocals.
      Thomas was the next to go but this was his choice (or maybe his parents). He left our hardcore death metal band to join a half country and western band that consisted of a bunch of 40 year all hippies. I never understood why he left he was the only one I was sure wouldn't leave. His band was called 'The Dukes' now what sort of band does that sound like, some sort of child molesting bunch of fags.
       After me and Gobs (Andrew McCurdy) realized we were the last ones in the band we didn't practice at all I was sure that was it but I couldn't my childhood dream get away like that so I sat at home making up my own songs they sound a cross between Sepultura, Korn and Metallica. Metallica will for ever be my favorite band however much I hide it and However much they change into a pop band. After recording about 4 songs in a couple of days with the schools 4 track recorder that I borrowed over the christmas holidays I gave the recorder and the songs to Gobs to put some lyrics too. When he gave me back the finished product I noticed how good Gobs could sing and play bass when he put his mind to it.
      I decided to leave school. My parents and everybody else think its to join the army or get a job but I only left so that I could put all my time into the band so I could show everybody that we can do it and then laugh in their face as we head to the top. I kept the recorder even though I had left school. Now we have about 14 songs about six aren't recorded yet. Me and Gobs made up the name S.T.D when Thomas was still in the band. S.T.D stands for something that me and Gobs made up and in one of our songs that isn't recorded yet it says what it stands for in the lyrics but you will have to by our album when we finally get a record label to find out.
