The two original members of this band were Adam Kessel and Jarrod Aydelot. The year it all started was 1997. They ended up gaining a drummer (the first they came across) his name was Jack Pudzis after about two months we realized that he was not working out and fired him. About a year past and Adam and Jarrod worked on there skills and their search for other members. That very summer they met a singer by the name of Brian Parker he had never sang in a band before but, he was a hell of a lot better than anyone else in the band. After a few months of playing they were still in need of a drummer. Brian had a friend he had known for years, and as luck would have it this friend was a prodigy at drums. The Drummer (Dave Prusina) came over to practice, and by the end of the first song was in. Two years would pass and the original members stuck together through everything from more members, different band names, and problems at home and with the band. That coming year would prove to be the most challenging year that they would have to face. That year the original guitar player Jarrod would decide to leave the band for a different band. The other members of the band were having problems with Jarrod anyway and were holding secret practices with an old friend and excellent guitar player Bill Mitchell. Once Jarrod left, the band regrouped and decided to start over and with their new guitar player and there new outlook on music, Syndicate was born.
