Brandon Gentry was born in Charlottesville, VA and raised in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. He fell in love with the post-punk and indie rock bands coming out of Washington DC as a high school and college student in the 1990s, buying records on Dischord and Simple Machines and Teen-Beat and going to the 9:30 Club and the Black Cat as often as possible. Brandon is a graduate of the College of William & Mary and the University of Texas at Austin. He lived in DC for nearly ten years, and now lives in Austin with his family. His ears are shot from too many shows, but it was worth it.
