Christian “Speesy” Giesler Joins Fore
Former Kreator bassist Christian “Speesy” Giesler is now a member of Fore, the punk band featuring Jeramie Kling (Venom INC, Massacre), Taylor Nordberg (Massacre), and Brian Stephenson (Old James). The group was originally formed by Kling and Nordberg as a chance to play in the style of “late 80s/early 90s punk like Bad Religion, Pennywise, The Offspring, NOFX.”
“We had already worked with Speesy and Brian in our “One Song In One Day” quarantine series, so we knew they were talented, pro, and easy to work with,” Nordberg writes.
Giesler, who left Kreator last year after 25 years in the band, added “So excited about a new band! Taylor asked me if I wanted to do something punk-like, and I agreed immediately as everyone knows, I’m a very, very big punk fan. From the idea to now, only 5 or 6 weeks have passed.”
Fore hasn’t released any new music with Speesy yet, but you can hear two songs on their self-titled EP.
