Fronting and writing for poppunk band GameFaCe in the early 1990s,his voice and knack for a memorable hookand melody quickly established a dedicatedfollowing. He led the band around the globe,gradually shedding youthful exuberance for astring of increasingly mature releases, beforefnally abandoning the tour van in 2003.It wasn't long before Caudill reappeared,acoustic guitar in hand. The new earthiersound was a logical progression from his punkroots.
