Bio

Frostbite was formed by brothers Armando and Isidro Garcia in 1997. Trained by some of Albuquerque’s most respected and recognized vocal coaches, they quickly brought melodies and harmonic vocal resonance to the band. They both have been surrounded by a musical influence their entire lives by their father Elmer Garcia and his group, The Good Tymes Band. In 1995, at the age of 16 Armando joined his father’s band playing drums and singing. In October of 2002, Tom C. joined the band bringing his astonishing talent and incendiary guitar styles to the group. Tom quickly ascended himself to heights not easily reached. With the addition of Tom, Frostbite gained momentum, respect of fellow musicians, and city recognition by both the Alibi and Albuquerque Journal. In 2005, Frostbite was nominated for three different categories by the New Mexico Music Industry Awards, which included Rock Category, Metal Category, and Song of The Year. Later in the year, the band hit a snag when the original bass player departed the group. Frostbite continued to practice and keep the band active. In September of 2006, Justin Turner joined the band bringing seasoned experience and incorporating a new funky and exciting sound to Frostbites music. The band is extremely excited and sees nothing but success in the future.
