LOOK OUT!!! This local band from the near-west suburbs of Chicago, Illinois is determined to take the local music scene by storm. Government Warning was the original brainchild of Mark Sibincic and Mike Sullivan. Unable to work alone, Bill Forrest and John Beniacs joined them in the spring of 2001. Mike and Mark, friends since third grade, had always wanted to start a band. Music has been a common passion for them throughout their friendship. In the fall of 2000, a high school friend of Mark's introduced them to her fiance Bill, also a passionate musician who had left a band three years before and was interested in starting another one. After months of practicing without a bass player their common sense got the best of them and the search was on. John was a natural choice and the band was complete.
	LOCK YOUR DOORS!
MARK SIBINCIC (DRUMS) Mark provides the solid backbone of Government Warning's sound. He utilizes pounding beats pulled from his influence: Lars Ulrich, Phil Rudd, John Bonham, and Keith Moon. Marks rhythmic feel and natural talent have proven to be an invaluable asset to the band.
	MIKE SULLIVAN (RHYTHM GUITAR, VOCALS) Mike brings forth the basis of Government Warning's melodic guitar riffs and solos. Mikes ability to sink into the music makes him an essential asset to the band. It is evident in much of Government Warning's music that Mike showcases his soul through his guitar and vocal prowess. His influences range from hard rock, to jazz, to classical. When he plays, these influences merge to form a unique and refreshing style like no other.
BILL FORREST (LEAD GUITAR, VOCALS) Bill assumes the forefront in Government Warning's pounding solos. Bill's desire to succeed has driven him to master his instrument without and formal training. Since touring in Phoenix, Arizona with the metal band Necessary Enemy, Bill has been circulating in the music industry in search of his niche. His performance in Government Warning has proven his malleability as a guitar virtuoso and displays his undying passion for music.
	JOHN BENIACS (BASS, BACKING VOCALS) John's bass abilities have made a great impact on the sound of Government Warning. Every chord he plays has feel behind it. His playing can be subtle and expressive as well as heavy and extreme while still being able to blend with the band. His vocal training is also an essential background to the bands songs. John's love of music is the final piece to what Government Warning is all about.
