MySpace Profile

Army of Me is a rock band formed in Washington, D.C..

Officially formed in 2002, vocalist Vince Scheuerman and bassist John Hutchins grew up together in a religious cult based in Gaithersburg, Maryland. As they grew frustrated with trying to live and operate in the mainstream culture, they turned to music as their outlet. They started playing in various bands together at the age of 17. They met drummer Dennis Manuel while playing with one of these bands and later added guitarist Brad Tursi to complete the quartet.

The band was originally known as Cactus Patch. Under that name they released at least 3 self-released EPs on CD-Rs and one self-titled album. They changed their name to Army of Me not long after winning the WHFS Big Break contest which granted them an opening slot at the 2001 WHFStival.
