Chris Hornbrook

It was announced in early 2020 that Greg Puciato's first solo record: "Child Soldier: Creator of God" would predominately feature Hornbrook's drumming. Puciato was quoted as saying:

Out of the fifteen tracks on "Child Soldier: Creator of God" Hornbrook would drum on nine with one track (Fire for Water) being performed by Chris Pennie (ex-The Dillinger Escape Plan, Coheed and Cambria) and the other being performed by Ben Koller (Converge, Mutoid Man). The final three were programmed by Puciato with some assistance from Rowe. The record was produced and engineered by Grammy Award-winning engineer, Nicholas Rowe. It will be released on Puciato's record label Federal Prisoner sometime in 2020.

“I think fundamentally I always strive to do what the song calls for. Whether it’s a lot, or really simple, or whatever. I think that’s the most important thing. That’s the role that the drummer has, to hold everything together. Play a beat and be really musical. Not to say that I don’t enjoy overplaying, but it has to be the right sort of environment for that. I’m not a big fan of guys that like to do a lot and it sounds like they’re trampling over the music because they’re trying to prove whatever point they’re trying to prove. Ultimately, I look to serve the song and do exactly what it needs to be effective from the drumming department."

"I wanted to push the envelope. Thinking deep down I wasn’t trying to prove anything to anyone else, but prove to ourselves that we could make a record better than our last one and make something different and innovative.”

"So after close to three and a half years of working with Senses Fail my time has came to move on with the next chapter in my life. I’m very grateful for the time spent with band and crew traveling the world and playing music. I’ve gain a lot of insight touring with SF that I’ve realized recently reflecting back is pretty paramount. Anyway, I want to thank Buddy and company for everything and wish them the best of luck with finding a new drummer. I’m sure whomever they get will kick ass.”

Hornbrook also makes an appearance on Dhani Harrisons' live performance film "IN///PARALIVE" alongside other notable musicians such as Davide Rossi of Coldplay, Stephen Perkins of Jane's Addiction, Big Black Delta, Camila Grey of Uh Huh Her and Mereki Beach. "IN///PARALIVE" was filmed and recorded at Jim Henson Studios in Los Angeles, California in late 2017. It was produced and engineered by Grammy Award-winning engineer Paul Hicks. The film was also mixed by Paul Hicks and Ryan Williams. It was released via Dhani Harrisons Facebook page on June 14th, 2019.

It was announced on June 18th, 2019 that Dhani Harrison would be supporting Jeff Lynn's ELO that summer on an arena tour across the U.S. and Canada.

"I’ve known Chris Hornbrook since we were 23. He knows how to hit a drum. For a lot of the songs on this record, I knew he was the guy."

Hornbrook was invited by Dhani Harrison to be in his backing band for the touring and promotion of his first solo record: "IN///PARALLEL". The bands' first show was at The Echo in Los Angeles, California on July 4th, 2017 with an additional appearance at the Panorama Music Festival on Randall's Island on July 29, 2017, in New York City. They would go on to perform live on various late-night TV shows such as Jimmy Kimmel LIVE! and Conan O'Brien. The band would also perform at such notable festivals as In Bloom Festival, Bottlerock Napa, Sasquatch! Music Festival, The RIDE Festival, and Lollapalooza Berlin.

Hornbrooks status with Big Black Delta is unknown as the band hasn't performed live since the middle of 2016.

It was announced on June 2nd, 2014 via Alternative Press that Hornbrook would be replacing original Senses Fail drummer Dan Trapp on the bands' tenth-anniversary tour of their seminal release "Let It Enfold You". It was revealed later that year that he would also be participating in the bands' seventh studio record "Pull The Thorns From Your Heart". Hornbrook toured with Senses Fail from 2014 through 2018 before announcing his departure on January 8th, 2018. Hornbrook stated in a post from his Instagram:

In the Spring of 2012 Hornbrook was invited to come to perform live with electronic pop artist Big Black Delta. During his time with Big Black Delta, they would tour with bands such as M83, Jane's Addiction, and Gary Numan. The group would also perform at a bunch of different noteworthy music festivals such as SXSW, Rock en Seine, Reading Festival, Leeds Festival, Electric Picnic, Berlin Festival, and Boston Calling Music Festival. Big Black Delta also performed live on Last Call With Carson Daly during their time at SXSW in 2013.

Poison the Well is considered by many as the "fathers" of what is now referred to as contemporary "Metalcore" helping to popularize the genera. They have also been acknowledged as being a very influential band during the early 2000's Post-hardcore "boom".

Hornbrook started working with Poison the Well in the Fall of 1998. His tenure with the band spans well over twenty years, including drumming on all five of the bands' full-length records, both EPs and performing on all the touring in support of those records. Alongside being a founding member he is also considered to be a part of the core lineup alongside guitar player Ryan Primack and vocalist Jeffrey Moreira. His drumming is an integral component of the band's sound as he has a strong influence over the songwriting.

Christopher Aaron Hornbrook (born April 29, 1981) is an American drummer and a founding member of influential Metalcore/Post-hardcore band, Poison the Well. He also is currently working with late Beatle George Harrison's son, Dhani Harrison and Killer Be Killed and The Black Queen singer, Greg Puciato.
