Brainerd is an American hard rock band formed in Madison, Wisconsin in 2002 by lead singer and bass player Daniel Dieterich. Current members include Shawn Blackler (guitar), Mike Henry (drums), and Jon Chvojicek (guitar).

History

Brainerd was formed in Madison, Wisconsin in 2002 by featuring Daniel Dieterich (bass and vocals), Matt "Knife" Porwall (guitar), Travis Kasperbauer (rhythm guitar), and Tony Leskinnen (drums), who aimed to blend the punk rock, rock, and metal music styles, while portraying true stories about "living life to its most extreme potential." Occasionally delving into stories of violence, death, and the demonic, the lyrics provide a powerful insight into the mind of people affected by psychological and actual violence.[1]

Tony Leskinnen left in 2003 to play with The Skintones and was replaced by Andy Kinzler, a friend of Kasperbauer from the Madison Media Institute, himself replaced by Mike "Magma" Henry from Bongzilla. Matt Porwall (lead guitar) was replaced by Shawn Blackler from Striking Irwin, and Travis Kasperbauer (rhythm guitar) quit in 2007 to play with Whore du Jour, and was replaced by Jonny "Vortex" Chvojicek from Brickshithouse and the High Noon Saloon.[2]

Brainerd hosts the bi-annual Turbojugend Bloodbath concert series.[3]
