    Artist History
    Group burst onto the scene in 2001 with amazing over-the-top live performances, incredibly catchy singles and screaming covers of such bands as U2, the Cranberries, and Guns N' Roses. The songs are composed by Dan Banks and Lee Slatzer and the lyrics by Sarah Duey. The band originally hails from the middle-of-no-where Ohio where all the members attended college together and recieved their degrees in useless fields numbers 1 and 2. The band was formed by Dan Banks (former Sober Drummer)who heard Sarah sing impromptu at a music festival. Dan also recruited Bassist Lee Slatzer from his former group "Sober". The last piece of the puzzle was drummer Scott Gelo, long time friend, oddly enough, of the other three group members. The group won a battle of the bands competition and opened for Naughty by Nature at a huge rock music festival. After several successful shows and a growing repertoire of original songs, the band planned to high tail it out to California and rock the west coast. The band relocated to Southern California and joined with Drummer Chris DePaula formerly of TwentyOneRest. The band played various gigs around San Diego and composed new songs until leading up to early January when the group went into the studio to record the demo CD "unearth."
