Brandan Schieppati

1980. Agusztus 3-án született Newport, Kaliforniában. Ő az énekese a metalcore bandának, a Bleeding Through-nak. És olyan bandákban ismerhettük még meg, mint az Eighteen Visions, The Innocent, Throwdown. A gimibe  Baseball játékos akart lenni,de később  a mi nagy szerencsénkre az énekesi pályát választota .

Pájafutása alatt sok bandában játszot ,de a nagy sikert a Bleeding Through-val érte el. A banda története 1999 nyarán kezdõdött. Brandan 'Sheep' Schieppati, Javier Van Huss, Scott Danough, Troy Born, Chad Tafolla alakította még 1998-ban a Breakneck nevû bandát. Késõbb a banda hardcore és death metal elemeket is felvett zenéjébe. Ezek után egy új nevet vettek fel mégpedig a Bleeding Through-t . Innen nem volt megállás a Demo elkészülte után 2001-ben kiadták a Dust To Ashes albumot ami ismerettségett hozott. Gitáros-dobos harcore metal zúzás sok kiabálassal, kevés énekkel. A 2003-ban megjelent This Is Love, This Is Murderous totális áttörést jelentett a Bleeding Through-nak, így hát elég komoly ismerettségre tettek szert. Ezen az albumom már sokkal kifinomultabb hangzásvilág érezhetõ mint az elõbbieken. Éneklés, ordibálás néhol már-már death metal-ba áthajló zúzda, bár ez csak ritkán jelenik meg. Megjelenésük óta 7 kiváló albumot csináltak, az utolsó a 2012-es The Great Fire , ami durvábbara sierült, mint eddig bármelyik albumuk.

Új zenekart alapított Brooks Wackerman-nel (Bad Religion)és Ryan Sinn -nel (aki korábban a The Distillers-nek olt tagja), valamint  Dave Nassie-el (No Use for a Name  ): A banda neve The Innocent lett.
