Vow Of Silence

The Band - Braydon Wollmann

The Man I am Braydon Wollmann, or Mr. Riley, I play guitar and sing in Vow of Silence. My birthday is November 10th, 1987. I am the second youngest band member in Vow of Silence. I was born in Leduc Alberta and lived there till I was 10, and then moved to Cold Lake (kind of a boring town). I started playing guitar here. I took some lessons on singing when I was 13 in a church choir. My big brother, Tyler Wollmann from the band SugaKane, had a really big influence on me and he still does. I love music and I would rather be playing it or listening to it than anything.

I like to try and write riffs that would be hard for others to tab or learn. I am hyper as hell. I was in the original band The Posters with Matt Small, Spencer Mortenson, and my brother Ethan. We did covers back then. I have been with Spencer and Matt for a year now . I write a lot of the lyrics. It is fun. I like to express all my feelings about life in my lyrics and I also write about chicks, yeah that's right, the number one topic every band writes about. I love punk rock , Emo, Ska, Alternative, Hard Rock, Classical, and a bit of metal.

Bands that influence my writing and I love are:

Ataris, AFI, Alien Ant Farm, Autopilot Off, Bad Religion, Big Wig, Blink 182, CHOKE,

COHEED AND CAMBRIA, Creed, Danko Jones, Dashboard Confessional, Dave Mathew Band, Default, Drive by Punch, Eve 6, Face to Face, Fenix tx, FINCH, Finger Eleven, Five Iron Frenzy, Foo Fighters, Gob, Goldfinger, Grade, Green Day, Guttermouth, Hoobastank, I Mother Earth, Incubus, Jars of Clay, Jimmy Eat World,

The Juliana Theory, LAGWAGON, LESS THAN JAKE, Life House, Link 80, Linkin Park, METALLICA, Me first and the Gimme Gimmes, Midtown, Millencolin, Mustard Plug, MxPx, Nickelback, No Use For A Name, NOFX, Not By Choice, Offspring, Our Lady Peace, Pennywise, POD, Propagandhi, Puddle of Mudd, Pulley, Rage Against the Machine, Rancid, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Reel Big Fish, Reliant K, Riddlin Kids, Satanic Surfers, Saves the Day, Simple Plan, Slick Shoes, SNFU, Strung Out, Sublime, Sugarcult, Sugakane, Suicide Machines, Sum 41, Supertones, Taking Back Sunday, THREE DOORS DOWN, Thrice, Thursday, Treble Charger, Ultimate Fake Book, Unwritten Law, Vandals, Up Syndrome, Vodoo Glow Skulls, Zero Down.
