Bill started his education in playing hardcore punk/metal in the early nineties in a band called Identity Unknown. He then went on to form the crust/hardcore band Scourge
who did a split 7" with crust/grind masters Deformed Conscience on Fetus Records. They played quite a bit around Arizona. He later started the hardcore/crust/thrash band Uruk-Hai, which Ryan also was in. They did a ten
song EP on Fetus, played one show, and spawned Unruh. Bill was the drummer for the five-year duration of Unruh, whose discography is rather large for a hardcore band.
