Portraying The Big Picture!

"In 2007 Derek Miner wanted to start a band, not just any band, but a band where he could shine and his talents would continually be allowed to grow. Along with Vocalist, Beau Hampton, and drummer, Shaun Littrell, and one other they formed Entreri.

"In 2007 Derek Miner wanted to start a band, not just any band, but a band where he could shine and his talents would continually be allowed to grow. Along with Vocalist, Beau Hampton, and drummer, Shaun Littrell, and one other they formed Entreri. As the years passed the band continually struggled to make it in the metal scene and went through many line-up changes, until Benny Castaneda stepped up from bass to second guitar. After the last falling out of members due to a difference in beliefs, by winter of '09 Entreri was no more and the heavy hitting Powerhouse, Portraying the Big Picture!, or as they like to say, "PtBP!, Bay-bee, YEAH!", hit the scene! Adding Keyboardist/Synth Player, David Bruce ,and bassist, Ty Gullage, it became a beast of carnage, feeding upon the masses and awakening the souls of many. Taking influences from major bands such as Miss May I, Woe, Is Me, We Came as Romans, The Devil Wears Prada, The Word Alive, Of Mice & Men, and Bring Me The Horizon, and introducing third guitarist, Cody Meece, they created a super storm , a cacophony of destruction, hardcore orchestrated, a true Renaissance of the Grind! If you don't believe, than come see. If you are blind, than you will open your eyes. If you are deaf, than you will hear! This is the new wave, this is the new year!!! This is the band to see!!! If you've been waiting for a refreshing twist on your favorite sounds, than PtBP! is your band!"
