Artist History Well this band started a couple years back and has had some of its ups and downs, but in the end we found a good line up and made some great tunes to jam out to. It all started in the fall of 2001; I, Pat, and former guitarist and bassist, Mike Martin and Joe Coleman, teamed up with local drummer Mike Dibella after just leaving a previous cover band. We were kickin and ready to write our own songs with our new member, so we got to work. Being young though only 14 and 15, at the time, we didn't know what, when, or how to write, so it took us a while to figure it out. We practiced in a tiny room at our drummer's house in Andover NJ and eventually put together some songs; they spoke of the world and what we thought of it (government , society, life, the norm). After weeks of practicing and playing just for friends in the small room we decided it was time to record our ideas; so we put together a demo using our drummer's dad's recording equipment at his house. We did it fast and very low budget but it came out alright. Soon after the demo we had landed our first show. Things seemed to be going well we had made a demo, we got our first gig, but we had two problems: our guitarist Mike seemed to become bored with the band (he would not show up or want to co-operate) and we hadn't come up with a name yet. We actually came up with many different names but never liked just one so finally the day we had to call the guy for the venue we came up with the name Public Disturbance, and as for Mike M, well he didn 't work out so well; it took several kick outs and let back ins to figure that out. We did try out a good friend Bill Hermann for the guitar though, he didn't seem to work out at the time but he will play an important roll in the band later. Even though we lost a member, we still played our first show as a three peace, under the name Public Disturbance at (I would hate to say it) obsessions. But Mike D, Joe, and I put on a good show; people seemed to like us, so we continued on with writing and getting more shows. Unfortunately though all good things must slow down; Joe (bass) seemed to fade away from the band, he couldn't find the time for it, so me and Mike D were forced to go out and search for new members. The search was hard and long, people were dicks(pardon the pun) . We jammed with various people from everywhere and we even left for other bands but nothing seemed to be the same as Public Disturbance. So giving up on a band and starting to just write on my own acoustically I felt kind of down. Until one day, guess who's back, my friend bill asked me if I would like to go watch a band he was forming practice, interested I said yes. When I went there I must admit I thought it would be kind of bad but I was surprised, they actually were pretty good and knowing bill previously wanted to in the old band with me I later asked him if he would want to jam with me and good old Mike Dibella. Of course he said yes, knowing there would be more potential with us teaming up, and he brought along his ba ssist Rob Osbourne who was pretty talented, especially for only playing for a little over a year. They both seemed pretty excited and ready to get to serious work with me and Mike. After a couple practices we brought back some P.D. songs but gave them a new flare that Bill and Rob added, and it worked out well. Soon after a couple more practices we got to work on new songs and put them down. We later recorded our new songs and put together a new demo, then it was just a wait for a show and eventually we prevailed. We got our first show with the new band at the Hainesburg inn (thanks to a friend band X's for Eyes) under the decided name No\More!!! (meaning no more of what ever you want it to be). After the show people seemed to like us and we were asked to play upcoming shows, so we played. Now we have a good line up as well as serious members and are kickin and ready to play any show; we are also putting together more and more songs; constant work. It took a while but now for a band I think we are set. Band history by: Patrick Ogrodnik
