Autumns Fall (2004–2007)
Chris Vaughn started Autumns Fall (lead guitar/keys and vocals) as Autumn's End with Nick "Paris Dupont" Engen, later to be filled with Harrison Corupe (frontman/screams), Jesse Zinga (lead guitar), Eric VanAcker of The Rendering (drums), and Corey Sims of The VeraGroove (bass). The band played with such acts as From First To Last, Showbread, He Is Legend, A Skylit Drive, The Word Alive, Despised Icon, Shiny Toy Guns, Taking Back Sunday, The Used, and more! They acquired national buzz and attention from Columbia Records, but shortly after broke up due to musical differences after changing their name to A Suicide Blonde and The Raven.
Danger Silent (2008–present)
Danger Silent is Vaughn's newest solo project that he started with Nick Stecki (former member and audio engineer of AVM Recordings). The band brings almost any style of music in existence to the table (rock, blues, hip-hop, techno, and more).

Tyler "Telle" Smith of The Word Alive is featured on Chris's newest album, as well as Robby Creasey of Farewell, My Love (Band), Jesse Lehner of Cold Blooded Theory, Kiefer Ireland of The Secrets We Keep, Harrison Corupe of Autumns Fall, Nick Stecki of Known Enemies, Marissa Murphy and more.
