Band Members and Bio
Jon Anderson - Vocals
Jon started singing his freshman year in high school chorus class, however, he had trouble finding motivation in recycled fluff music composed by musicians decades before. His early time as a front man would last for a few years during high school and college, spanning two very different bands, ending in 1999. Lacking talent in writing lyrics or music composition, Jon focused on developing a high level of intensity during live performances. More than a decade later, he was introduced to Max who was looking for a singer for a project influenced by bands for which they both shared interest. Instant chemistry with C$U members, constant pursuit of perfection, and dissatisfaction with aspects of the social and political climate in America have ignited a desire in him to perform, motivate, and promote free-thinking in his audience.

Max Oliver - Guitar
Max started playing guitar at age 14 learning Nirvana and Metallica songs that kids in the mid 90's typically learned when starting out. Having listened to 80's styles metal growing up, he had a lust for playing aggressive riffs from the start. In early high school, he discovered punk rock and was hooked from there on. To him, nothing compared to the raw power and energy that came along with punk rock music. Still, with a long history of 80's style metal stuck in his brain, he unconsciously incorporated that style into the punk rock music he wrote, which birthed something different entirely. Max's favorite techniques involve high speed palm muting riffs.

Jerry Cox - Bass
As an Air Force brat, Jerry traveled most of his life and played everything, everywhere. He discovered west cost punk rock while living in AZ, and was heavily influenced by the likes of Social Distortion, TSOL, and the Dead Kennedys, and is also influenced by 80's/90's metal bands Metallica, Megadeth, Iron Maiden, and progressive rockers RUSH. Jerry is a finger style bassist, but can and will use a pick if a song demands the brighter attack.
