Rock/Review Inviolet Row - Alpha Male

Inviolet Row was founded in Las Vegas, Nevada, in 2001 by Lee Scrivner (guitar and vocals), Kevin Brewer (guitar), Casey Johnson (bass), and Abe Millet (drums). Early that year, they began writing and recording songs for what was to become their debut album, Consolation Prizes. Millett left the band while the album was being mixed to devote more time to other projects, eventually joining Third Eye Blind in 2008. The mixing and recording of their debut took over a year because of personnel changes, and during this time, Ronnie Vannucci Jr. briefly sat in as a replacement drummer, just weeks before joining The Killers.
