The Resolution reunited around 2016 in Dana Point.

There were so many infamous bands from my hometown of Mission Viejo and the South OC region. I was in a couple: 63 Lipless Fish and The Resolution. My brother Collin and I both played with a lot of locals such as Marco Forster, Jim Viviano, Doug Crandall, Rich Weinrach, Lance Lyons, Jeffrey Koclanis, Sean Teer, Jack Kilby, Eric Stefani, Brad Wads, Mike Lochmiller, Jeremy Lotz … long list really if I forgot someone pls let me know. I Graduated Capistrano Valley High School 1987. Looking back I can remember so many amazing musical people from the area. Can anyone out there remember bands from the OC? Maybe your own? Oldies or freshies welcomed.

We all have personas that shift according to societal demands or expectations. ie; A waiter is a waiter at work but a smokin’ hot lover and pensive loving father at home. It’s like that you know? The personas, the masks we wear. Jung said. What if you had to pick one role you would like to be perceived as? That’s a tough one. I think for me, it is a persona that exemplifies: Unaffected Humanity… “We all invent ourselves and … You know Me 😉” -Michael Stipe, “Crush With Eyeliner,” REM.
