Music Style songs for the thoughtfully stupid people

Artist History Concieved in Salem, OR in the winter of 2001, THEforREALS began with simple intentions. To escape the frustration of playing under domineering solo artists, and create music and sound more for enjoyment than for solving immediate cash-flow problems. With the assistance of an 80's vintage Roland 707 drum machine, the three seasoned players have come upon a distinctive group sound. Comprised of Norm Buccola(bass, vocals), Micah Kassell(drums, guitar, vocals), and Tom Nunes(bass, vocals), THEforREALS tend to push heavy pockets of air as a bass and drums power trio. Having originally met in High School, Norm and Micah began playing together in High School band and went on to form the band Succatash in 1998. During this time the two periodically crossed paths with Tom when he played shows with Jive Talkin' Robots. The three finally met up playing parties as well as getting together for weekend recording sessions. At this point, the three decided to get the band off the ground and begin recording their debut Prarie Songs EP.
