User:Bdmcl/Bulletproof Snow

Bulletproof Snow is an American teen rock band, formed in metro Detroit in 2012 by 14-year-old Trey McLaughlin. The group got its name from the compacted, icy snow often found on Michigan ski slopes and referred to by skiers and snowboarders as being hard enough to ricochet bullets.

The band began with performances around Detroit, and gained popularity in southern MI during the next few years, releasing its debut EP Punished For My Innocence in March 2013. It's second EP Here We Come was also released in August 2014. Both EP's were written and produced by the band's founding member Trey McLaughlin and were recorded by Kevin Sharpe at Metro 37 Studios in Rochester MI.

Like one of his music mentors, Dave Grohl, McLaughlin wrote and studio tracked much of the band's released material, providing band mates with the opportunity to create their own solos, etc., but quickly stepping in if the material didn't fit the sound he was looking for in each track.
