Bands
Relient K
Warne originally started filling in as a bassist for Relient K in September 2004, after the then bassist Brian Pittman left the band less than a month earlier. Warne joined Relient K as the full-time bassist and backing vocalist in February 2005. He has contributed to four Relient K projects, and on four full length albums, Five Score and Seven Years Ago, Forget and Not Slow Down, Is for Karaoke, and Collapsible Lung. He also provided back-up vocals for two songs on Relient K's 2004 album Mmhmm. Warne also animated the band's flash cartoon, Woodland Forest.
Ace Troubleshooter
Warne was a founding member of the now defunct Christian punk band Ace Troubleshooter, in which he played guitar and sang lead vocals. The band was active from 1996 to 2004, recording five full length albums, the first two independently released and the last three released under the record label Tooth & Nail Records or its affiliate BEC Recordings.
Other acts
In 2004 Warne participated in the short-lived band Guerilla Rodeo, playing bass. The band's only record was a three-track EP.
It is rumored that he wants to contribute a project to the next volume of My Other Band, a compilation series featuring side projects from Christian rock artists. Warne's Relient K bandmates Matt Thiessen, Dave Douglas, and Ethan Luck all contributed to My Other Band, Vol. 1.
