To answer your questions; yes, he can drum. He draws his influences from a wide variety of genres; you’ll know once you spend a car ride with his Spotify. He’s also a master audio professional. He’s got over 10 years of recording experience and facilitated recording all of “Born In Trouble” in his bedroom and in Matt’s garage. His name’s Tyler Salinas, aka “THE CLAW”. Tyler’s had his start playing in the church. He murdered there and also murders in his pop-punk band. Now he murders in The 151. It’s ironic how he started in church and now murders so much. Anyhow, Tyler joined the band at its formation back in November of 2019 when he dropped into a keyboard set in Oakland with Matt. Now they can’t stop making noise. Tyler typically finds himself in the ‘life of the party’ role. He lives by one rule and one rule only; “ya clink, ya drink (thems the rules)”. You can stalk his IG here: @saltycookie

Sean McCandles, the bass player and wisdom-bringer of the band. Sean brings intense and unique perspective to song structure, band debate, and bass tone. Sean has a vast knowledge and history of performing arts and obtained his degree in Theater from the University of California Santa Cruz. He’s a glitch artist and actually he’s the dude who made all the glitch art (as shown on these headshots beside these descriptions) on the website and social pages. You can check out all his works on his IG @mrcrystacular Sean joined the band literally the day Matt and Tyler played together. Sean and Matt knew each other from the record shop and it turned out Sean was displaying his art at the same event Matt and Tyler were playing at. Matt explained to Sean he only now needed a bass player to complete the band. Sean took a deep breath and let out a sigh. He told Matt “I never tell anyone this but I play bass”. He then joined the band and its been rock brothers in arms ever since. He also goes by Seanathan now.

Mike Walch (or so we think) is the mysterious lead guitar player who’s been laying down sick ass licks since 1996. Mike is a carpenter in his spare time and builds his own guitars @trenchtown_guitars. He also has built some The 151 coasters which you can check out in the merch section. Mike and Matt met back in late 2017 or early 2018. Mike played bass and Matt played drums for this band that didn’t work out cause’ the singer was being a dack… but you know whatever. So after the fallout Matt called Mike up before meeting Tyler for the keyboard show and basically said “Hey Mike, you still wanna rock man"?” Mike said “Yeah, man” then Matt said “whatchu think about lead guitar"?” to which Mike replied “I’m down” to which Matt then replied: “Word”.

The lead singer… Matt Xavier… oye vey; To sum it up he once was quoted as saying: “I’ll keep makin’ whiskey in my bathtub until the motha fuckin’ feds get me in handcuffs”. Yes, he talks a lot of shit but he backs it up (he backs that ass up to). He can be seen bringing the champagne and breakfast sandwiches to practice because there’s no such thing as “too hungover” to rock in his book. Matt’s been playing music for nearly his whole life starting with Trumpet, followed by percussion, then guitar, and finally piano. He says he won’t stop rocking until he’s “layin on a coolin’ board”. His goal is to make enough money as an artist that he can quit his day job, get the fuck out of an office, and still go shopping for outrageous jackets and coats.
