Austen, drummer from Bellingham, WA, started at 12 years old. Inspired by drummers like Tre Cool, Jon Theodore, and Ringo Starr he quickly set out to start a rock band outside of the jazz and orchestra classes available to him. Moving from prog, emo, and eventually to more hip-hop style and electronic drums, this guy can play whatever you throw at him. Austen is currently half of the Bellingham garage rock duo The Stringlights
