Desiring Dead Flesh

Some Information about Desiring Dead Flesh.
(A Bio I guess it would be called)

Desiring Dead Flesh was started in the summer of 2000 by Bryan Hampton from Ripped Heart Productions in Mid-Michigan. After more than a decade of running shows (Ripped Heart), sound (Not My Show Sound, recording demos for other bands and other things to support the local scene in Mid-Michigan, Bryan decided to do what most people start out doing in the scene, 'Sing' for a punk band. Bryan lives in Bay City, MI with his wife Julie and their 2 kids Adam and Ravyn. The band's style is heavily influenced from 80s hardcore punk with short, fast songs filled with gang vocals and energy. Some of the songs are about serious topics, some about the scene and family, and some are just meant to be fun humor songs. Despite numerous member changes over the years the band has continued to play out, write songs and have fun.
