 Band Biography

 
Back in the day of October (2002) Matt Soban wanted to start a band. So first he needed a drummer. He asked Paul Brasil and he said yes. Then we needed a bassist and we asked Andrew Bercik and he said yes as well. So now we needed a singer. Paul new Dylan from previous bands so asked him to sing. Now with a full band they needed to practice. 2 Weeks after the band started they already had 2 shows. One at Club Krome and the other at the town Teen Center. After those two shows Dylan quit the band. Now we needed a singer as well as a second guitar player. Arek Sieczkowski came across our site and saw that we needed a singer and a guitar player. Being that he played and sang and was looking for a band, we tried him out. We liked him so we kept him. A couple months passed, and the line up didn't change. But then Andrew Bercik moved to Connecticut, so we picked up Shawn Bialas as our new bassist. After a little while, Arek realized that he wanted to play more guitar, so the band started looking for a lead singer. Matt Carr came across our site and tried out for the position. We liked him and kept him, so the final line up is and probably will always be: Arek Sieczkowski as back-up vocals/guitar, Matt Carr on Lead Vocals, Paul Brasil on Drums, Shawn Bialas on Bass, and Matt Soban as Back-up vocals/Guitar.
