Artist History Originally a Duo, Arsquared was formed by Frank W. Torres and John Paoline in 1997. Programmed Drums and Synth sounds were added to Hard Hitting guitar riffs to create, what was to be, a new kind of hard, electronic rock.After their first EP "Emotion Systems Failure" the duo searched for other members to give Arsquared a fuller live sound. In 1999 long time friend,Tommy Jusza, filled in on bass, and drummer, Brian Wishin brought in histalent on Drums. In Aug. 2000 the EP "Separation" was complete. This was the first CD Recorded by the Quartet. With guest D. J., K-rafti, on the turntables "Separation" is just the beginning of a new-musical journey. Material for the next CD is already in progress, but until completion, ARSQUARED is promoting and playing live in venues all around NY. Show dates are posted at: www.arsquared.com
