Sanguine Addiction was formed in Colorado Springs , Colorado in Early 2002. Sick and tired of other bands trying to mimic other big name bands, Sanguine Addiction wanted to try and create an original sound all of there own. They wanted to write what sounded good to them, and not be some other band labeled as a wannabe band. They wanted there sound to be solitary, and have emotion that would engage the listener. The original band was first created by three members, Jeff Baker (guitar), Jose Garcia (bass), and Jason Barnes (drums). The songwriting skills blended very well between this powerful trio, and each song written got more compelling than the one prior. After getting a small dynamic set list together, Sanguine Addiction started taking over, and all of this without a singer. Then, after only a couple shows together, Jason had to leave the band in early 2004, which in turn left Sanguine Addiction looking for a new drummer, and also a singer at the same time.
