Where are you
Where are you
Deep under cover
And the night so young
Mirrored reflections
Cast a steely high glow
I search the message
For something I can comprehend

-- Lyrics from "Burn"

Introducing: INSIDE THE TROJAN HORSE! The brand-new independent hard rock group - comprised of JIBE lead singer and solo artist Joe Grah, Charles Lee Salvaggio (GEMINI SYNDROME guitarist and FILTER/THEORY OF A DEADMAN bassist) and Pat Gerasia, drummer from RED SUN RISING and THE VIOLENT - has released their debut single "Burn". The gritty, self-produced track, mixed by Evan Rodinache (Lacey Sturm/Flyleaf, Escape The Fate, Powerman 5000), takes listeners on an unruly mission to reclaim the lost. Fueled by intricate drums and layered with heavy, ethereal guitars and driving bass, "Burn" sets the bar high for what's to come from the new group. Watch the official self-directed music video for "Burn" on KNAC.COM HERE.

"We've been working on this material for quite some time now as we grind through the trials and tribulations of finding our way through it all," shares the members of INSIDE THE TROJAN HORSE. "The feeling is unreal in the sense that it's happening. This music means everything to us and has taken over our lives, pulling us through the wringer, squeezing out every last drop, all while reflecting some of our most intense and revealing moments. With "Burn"'s birthday finally upon us, we are so proud and grateful to release this beautiful child into your arms and ears. Thank you so much for sharing this experience with us."

By piercing through the trickery of the exterior world, we uncover the real magic beneath. INSIDE THE TROJAN HORSE master the art of sonic unpredictability. From behind ominous masks, the three-piece band dip in and out of moments of heavy groove-laden riffs, boundless progressive experimentation, and insidiously catchy melodies. Akin to Ancient Greece's infamous strategy of "gifting" Troy a wooden horse loaded with soldiers, INSIDE THE TROJAN HORSE surges with an intense, yet infectious element of surprise fueled by the union of singer Joe Grah aka NoOne, guitarist Charles Lee Salvaggio aka NoThing, and drummer Pat Gerasia aka NoBody.

Joe and Charles first unlocked their creative chemistry as members of LOSER alongside guitar legend John 5 [Motley Crue, Rob Zombie, Marilyn Manson]. While on tour with Gemini Syndrome, Charles crossed paths with Pat and as he and Joe sowed the early seeds of INSIDE THE TROJAN HORSE, they reached out to the drummer to round out the lineup. Under the influence of everyone from Soundgarden and Audioslave to U2 and Deftones, they cultivated a signature and aesthetic without comparison, with the incendiary "Burn" being the first song the trio created together. When performing on stage, the guys of INSIDE THE TROJAN HORSE will be in masks - making sure the experience is completely about the music and its message.
