Our story begins with a group of triplets born in Salina, Kansas during the summer of 1993. These loving siblings were raised around a family of failed musicians, their mother and father had at one time embarked on a career in country music as a duo known as Salina, named after their hometown. After five years of singing and writing music, the duo had found little to no success outside of their namesake town. Their vocals were considered a disgrace to the country music scene and their instrumentals were almost painful, so it was no wonder that they failed.

Though, this poor skill in music didn't translate to their children, but rather the three were prodigies in music. Johnny and Gabrielle excelled in the guitar and had a fresh, neotraditional country sounding voice. While Cecilia had a talented voice herself, she excelled with the piano. Upon discovering their musical talents, the three decided they'd become small country music trio, often performing at various talent shows and musical contests throughout Salina. At this time, they were simply known as the Allen Siblings. The three came as a major surprise, considering the failure of their parents in the music industry as performers, though their parents have an active role in their present career, producing the studio albums their children release.

Their next door neighbors was very much like the Allen family. The parents were failed musicians, yet they gave birth to a child who would go on to become a prodigy in music, specifically the child mastered the drums. Due to the close proximity of their families and the friendships between their parents, Crystal was able to get along well with the Allen siblings despite the five year difference between them. The Allen siblings often treated the young Crystal like a younger sister and in return, they played an older sibling role to them.

During their schooling years, the three had befriended the neighbor's son, Jay who happened to be three years older than them and like them, he also had a huge interest in music. Though, his size often prevented him from securing a contract with any record labels due to the unfortunate stereotypes in the media during that time in spite of his obvious talents on the guitar and his own vocal range was mighty impressive. The four of them were able to get along well due to similar interests in nearly everything, from their favorite sports teams to their tastes in music, it was all the same. Joey acted like an older brother to the younger triplets.

During the tail end of their middle school years, Johnny had befriended a boy that was just a few years younger than him and his siblings. Brian was known for being a prodigy with the bass and like the other five, he had a huge interest in the country music scene. As such, he was able to get along with the group rather easily thanks to similar interests. For the next few years, the six of them began working on forming their very own band, though they hadn't quite decided on what genres they'd focus on. Though, there was one thing the six of them could agree on; they loved country music and Metallica.

So, what did this group do? Simple, they formed a band that did country covers of various rock and metal songs, most notably their many Metallica covers. They settled on naming the band 'Kansastallica' in honor of both their home state and their biggest influence. Today, the band tours around the Midwestern United States regularly, often performing as the opening act for various country artists. While they aren't commercially successful, they have released several critically successful albums and have gained a small fanbase throughout the country music scene.
