Music Life
Paul Noyes started out playing percussion in a small family band. His brother played guitars and sang, when his sister played bass and did backup vocals. They started out being a small garage band, but then became local phenomena when they began playing hard rock, then went on to playing Heavy Metal.

The family band broke up in the summer of 2005. The sister went on to sing for a heavy metal act called Aeon Wraith, while Burwell and Paul went on to play in a band called So Death May Die, both bands gaining huge popularity for the short time they existed. Both acts disbanded, and each person tried doing other bands, but the only two proving successful were Burwell and Adrienne. They formed different bands and solo acts that proved to be even more successful than the last.

Paul seemed to drift away. Stopped singing, stopped recording, stopped playing percussion.
