"I'm autistic, transgender, off-brand Bryan Garris. Bryanna Garris, if you will. I was born in Southern California, but I grew up bouncing between it and East-Central Indiana because my parents sucked. Most of my early experience with music was through concert band & choir, and I grew up listening to Linkin Park & Evanescence while playing ukulele and singing Top 40 hits at school talent shows. My dad claims my first words were "du hast." I grew up in the Mormon church and became an evangelical after high school, with my first experience performing in a "band" being with a church's worship group. I was exposed to heavy music through my stoner roommates in college, and started learning to scream around then. It wasn't until my mid-20's when COVID had hit, I'd started an IT career, deconstructed my religious beliefs, became one of those trans commies, and heard the breakdown to "Mistakes Like Fractures" that I felt confident enough to produce my own vocal covers and put them on YouTube. I met Joe in 2024 after joining, as vocalist, an Indy nu-core band called No Means which he'd formed with another guitarist, and after self-producing an EP and performing together for a year and a half, I joined PSEUDO-SAINT at the end of 2025. My lyrical & vocal style is heavily influenced by my favorite retro & indie games, as well as bands like Silent Planet, Polaris, Soulkeeper, Pressure Cracks, Invent Animate, Boundaries, and, of course, Knocked Loose."
Joe Luksic - Drums
"Hi, I'm Joe. I started taking drums seriously when I was about 24 and played my first show when I was 27. Then I started joining and playing with as many bands as I could handle. Usually, I would try to stay in about 3 bands at a time. I met Aiden in one of those bands and was always impressed with her work ethic and consistency. In 2025, Ryan and myself started to write songs remotely. After showing Aiden the tracks, she showed a lot of interest and we all started practicing in my rehearsal space."
Ryan Toll (he/him) - Guitar
"Yo I'm Ryan, born and raised in Indy. I started my musical journey at 10 years old with the double bass in orchestra, which eventually evolved into electric bass. My dad bought me a Squire bass and little combo amp. I started with learning a lot of Nirvana and Red Hot Chili Peppers. I played bass in a few trivial garage bands with friends throughout high school, dabbling a little into electric guitar. My music taste in high school was mostly metalcore and deathcore, especially old-school Contortionist. I then decided to join the Navy at 18. While I was in the Navy I started exploring other instruments. I started with drums, buying a full kit for my barracks room and played a lot of Underoath and Nirvana. I really admired drummers that also sang. After a year or so of drums, I moved over to guitar. Fast forward a few years, a move back to Indy, and a whole lot of guitar practice. I started writing songs remotely with Joe in 2025 for PSEUDO-SAINT. My influences span over 20 years of listening to metal music, but recently I've been into Soulkeeper, Loathe, Killing of a Sacred Deer, Psycho-Frame, and Sworn-In"
