[edit] History
Hourcast was formed when drummer Jerry Clews began collaborating on song ideas with guitarist Dave Henriquez. The two selected Patrick McBride from numerous vocalists who had auditioned. Clews and Henriquez actually discovered McBride's talents through a website. Choosing McBride for his powerful melodic vocal style and background in electronic music, he says "I'm lucky to have a Swiss Army knife of vocals I can sing and scream equally well." The line up was completed with the audition of bassist Dave Sullivan, with whom Dave Henriquez has worked in the past.
