The Social Pariah
The Social Pariah is an alternative-punk rock band formed in 2006 by lead guitarist, Braden Butcher and drummer, Noah Gecelovsky. The band consists of Braden Butcher on rhythm guitar, David Renaud on rhythm and Noah Gecelovsky on drums.

Early Years (2008-2012)
Long time best friends, Braden Butcher and Noah Gecelovsky, started the band Victim Of The System in 2008. Originally, the band started off with a close friend of Braden and Noah's named Adam Pickel on lead guitar, but Pickel later quit the band because he felt the band was only their imagination. After Pickel left the band, Braden Butcher began to learn guitar. Butcher was learning bass before Adam left but he would later change is mind because of his inspiration from Green Day's, Billie Joe Armstrong.

Victim Of The System originally started out as Children Of Society and was forced to go through many name changes but one day in 2010, while listening to Green Day's Restless Heart Syndrome Noah read across the lyrics, "You're a victim, of the system," and that's what later stuck as the name. The bands first live appearance was at Central Public Schools' Multicultural Fest on March 26th 2009. The band played Green Day's "Know Your Enemy". The band appeared with Braden playing lead guitar and Noah playing the drums.

After the band got to Vincent Massey Secondary School, they found new opportunities to hire a new bassist. While the band was in grade nine, they found a new bassist named, Avery Lynk. Avery wasn't around for to long till the band started to fade away till the next year. In grade 10, while the band was still trying to find a new bassist, a good friend, Reena Francis, introduced Braden and Noah to Victor Franjo, who was in grade 11 at the time and the group just connected.

The Third Guitar (2012-present)
The band started practicing and expanded. For the third practice, Noah introduced, David Renaud, to the band as a new guitarist. Braden and David sorted out the roles and planned everything out until Victor brought another guitarist into the picture. For the band's fifth practice Victor brought, Danny Dragos, a grade 12 and an incredible guitar player. Braden, Noah and Victor thought about three guitarists in the band and after along time of debating, the band came to the conclusion to keep the three guitar players.

A few months later Danny ended up quitting the band so the third guitarist wasn't a problem anymore. During that time, Noah had set Victor up with one of his older friends, Sarah MacDonald. They made up a cute couple but Sarah demanded a lot of attention. Over the course of 2 months Victor stopped showing up to band practices and Braden, David and Noah were left to practice alone. Noah and Victor were close until Victor stopped showing up. Noah began to get angry at Victor because instead of practicing he complained about paying the $10 to practice. Noah and Victor had an argument and decided it would be best for Victor to "...take his Yoko Ono and leave the band."

Victim of the System was then down to two guitarists and one drummer.

Out Loud (2013)
After the band settled down with the three guitarists, Dragos and Franjo decided to start up a backup band. They then asked Noah Gecelovsky, (whom like, Dragos and Franjo, was also from Victim Of The System) to be the drummer. Unfortunatly, the side project did not last very long. Danny had to quit because his life outside music was affecting his practice time so the band split up.

Victim Of The System 2011-2013
Victim of the System was the original name for The Social Pariah until 2014 when the band decided to change it because it resembled something new to the members. Victim of the System stood as a project that was always looking to be fixed and after two members were released due to creative and personal issues, the rest of the band needed a new start. The Social Pariah represented the forward motion set by the three remaining members, Braden, David and Noah, to get the band moving and away from just being a band that got together when everyone remembered they were in a band. The forward motion spiraled into the new energy that created The Social Pariah.

Making Waves
On November 22nd, 2014, The Social Pariah appeared at Vincent Massey's yearly talent show and performed After Midnight and First Date. Both of which are covers from the band Blink-182 where Pariah has derived much of their inspiration from.

Noah was born in Windsor, Ontario, Noah had two younger sisters, Lauren Constance Gecelovsky and Siovan (Sh-i-vaughn) Pamela Gecelovsky. Noah met Braden in Junior Kindergarden and became close friends over the years. At age 10, Noah started messing around on his dad's old Ludwig drumset. Noah never took any lessons from anyone; his dad would give him pointers every once-in-awhile and made sure his technique was correct. Noah and Braden formed Victim of the System while the two were in grade 5 with Adam Pickel. Unfortunately, Adam wasn't around long because if his love for baseball. Noah finds inspiration from Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame drummers like Red Hot Chili Peppers' Chad Smith, The All-American Rejects' Chris Gaylor, Blink-182's Travis Barker, Foo Fighter's Taylor Hawkins and Dave Grohl, The Who's Keith Moon, The Beatles' Ringo Starr and The Rolling Stones' Charlie Watts.
