Ross Redhead

Ross was a longtime fan of Unit 187 and jumped at the chance to take on guitar duties for the band a while back.

He likes to think that his contribution to Unit 187 of cheap guitars, even cheaper effects pedals coupled with the influences of early punk rock, industrial music and horror movie soundtracks has added a new dimension to the 187 sound.

Tod Law

Tod Law came on to the Industrial / Punk scene through authentic roots, hanging out on the streets of Vancouver during the late 80's and early 90's, taking in as many live shows as he could while working at a local record store. Tod would be front and center causing as much mischief as possible when bands like Skinny Puppy, Circle Jerks, and the Dayglos would play. In 1994, Tod met up with John Morgan after a local live show, and they both started a band together that eventually became Unit:187.  Quickly Tod honed his live presence, melding influences from frontmen such as Jelo Biafra, becoming a great showman and making every Unit:187 show memorable in some way.   In 1999, Tod's live antics earned him a spot playing keyboards and samples for the notorious Vancouver metal band, Zimmer's Hole. Every Zimmer's Hole show was not to be missed, as costumes, explosions, and fake blood were common-place. Tod was the driving force behind Unit:187 throughout the years, and toke an active role in every writing session - his vision helped mold the sound you hear as the present-day band. Tod sadly passed away in 2015 and leaves his great music with Unit:187 as part of his legacy and something he will always be remembered for.

Johnny Morgan

John grew up listening to synth bands such as Depeche Mode and Skinny Puppy, eventually following this musical path into electronic music production in the late 80’s.  His early works could be categorized as industrial acid-house – fusing together his influences at the time with old school analog gear and drum machines. In 1994, John formed Unit:187 with his friend Tod Law after attending a show together and finding out they had similar tastes in good music.   Vancouver at the time was a very creative place for music, and quickly they were able to sign the new Unit:187 material to San Francisco’s 21st Circuitry Records.  Three years later, John joined the band Strapping Young Lad as a keyboardist and toured extensively before also joining Fear Factory for several tours.  In early 1998, after deciding to stay closer to his home in Vancouver, John started full time work as composer and audio designer for top videogame giant Electronic Arts. Since then, John has produced over 12 records for his house music label – Powerplant Music, as well as recording 3 new Unit:187 albums, composing music for several multi-million selling video games, and recently completing the sound post for the 2010 Olympic Games opening ceremonies.
