Project Mayhem is a powerful and sophisticated rock band of only three members. Their influences range from eternal rock legends such as Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple to some of today’s more progressive acts such as Dream Theater. Mayhem stands out from the copycats and clones of today, offering two lead vocalists, complex yet catchy riffs, and an unmistakable family bond that can be seen and felt by their audience. “With brothers Matt and Tim Lillis providing the driving rhythm section, and cousin Jesse Lumb’s dynamic guitar playing, the trio shares a connection comparable to very few bands of today.” – Westfield Voice
