13:1 was formed in Winter of 2008. Without a permanent rythm section, Singer; Pete Martinez, and Guitar players; Jay Mills and Johnny Wetherall wrote songs and lyrics for the music that was to catch the attention of Drummer; Allen Siembida and Bass Player; Shannon Quimet. Both Allen, and Shannon were what the band needed in order to grow spiritually and creatively. By the Fall of 2009 the bands first CD was completed at Clay Creek Studio's in Newark Delaware. A huge success, the CD fell into the right hands and help land them gigs at landmark venues, Such as the Trocedero in Philadelphia PA, which the band has played twice, and the Annual June Jam festival in Houston Delaware which by some remarkable twist of fate were asked to headline the event.
