Hundred Caliber is currently comprised of Nick Bedrosian (Lead Vocals/Guitar), Brad Craighead (Backing Vocals/Lead Guitar) Wes Jones (Guitar), Derek Altringer (Bass), and Jake Harman (Backing Vocals/Drums). Past line-ups of the band have included the talented Shiloh Cook (Lead Vocals), Aaron Linville (Bass), and Tyler Rocho (Drums).
Believe it or not, this band started from an idea stemming from the game “Rock Band.” Original members Nick and Tyler decided they were so amazing at the game; they should start a real band. Nick had dabbled in playing guitar for some time before this idea came; it was inevitable he would end up in a band. Together they enlisted the help of Brad, Wes, and Aaron to round out the musical side of the band. With about a week to go before the first show (A house party in Temecula) they realized they needed a singer to belt out the classic songs they decided to cover; Songs ranging from Journey to Metallica and Green Day to Goldfinger, soon after they began to write original material.
In December of 2009, Tyler made a move to Arizona to attend school. Soon after, they enlisted the talents of drummer Jake Harman, it was an instant click. Shortly after, they began to become more serious and got their first big show at The Ramona Mainstage opening for national touring act Dead By Wednesday.
In September of 2010 Hundred Caliber parted ways with bassist Aaron Linville and gained the experience of Derek Altringer, another instant fit since everyone in the band had known him since at least middle school. In December of the same year, Shiloh Cook exited the band. This time instead of looking for a new member to bring in, they decided to replace from within, handing the lead vocals role to Nick.
Hundred Caliber is currently working on more new material and will be heading into the studio in January and February of 2011. The album, the bands first full length CD, is tentatively scheduled to be released sometime in the spring of 2011.
