the band
We started in October '97 in Westfield, MA. The original five-man lineup was Erik on vocals, Jay and Chris on guitar, Alex on bass, and Marty on drums. Our first show was in November '97, and we played about a dozen shows with this lineup over the next 4 months. In March Erik left to pursue his rowing career at UMass Amherst. Since no singer we knew could truly fill Erik's emotional shoes, Alex took over on the mic and Chris took his place on bass making the band a four-piece. Since then we've continued to play shows and record a demo with this lineup. Tons of fights and broken microphones later, we plan on playing as many shows as possible in '99 and we should have an lp out soon on Vulture Rock Records. Check the news section for more info on that matter.
