Description:
EVER SINCE is an original band out of Thornwood, NY, playing pop/rock music. Guitarist/vocalist Mike Squillante and drummer Stephen Ranellone had been playing together for a few months in another band when they decided to join forces with vocalist Greg Fata and bassist Phil Spina. Sparked in the fall of 2004, the members of what is now EVER SINCE created the first incarnation of their band, called “Pandora’s Mistake.” The band stuck together for over a year, home-recording a rough EP in the winter of ‘05. They played a few gigs at some of the better-known clubs in New York. They disbanded in the spring of ’06. Fata and Spina went off to college, Greg to Manhattanville and Phil to Manhattan, both continuing to play with Ranellone for a time. Squillante went in his own direction for a while, playing in his own band, also with Ranellone behind the kit. Mike and Steve graduated in 2007; Mike went to Berklee College of Music and is currently attending, while Steve went to Springfield. The members of Pandora’s Mistake kept in touch over the two years that they weren’t together. Principal songwriters Greg Fata and Mike Squillante began work on a new project over winter break of ’07-’08. The band planned to re-unite, and came back together at the beginning of summer ’08 and quickly fell into the groove of ruthlessly writing, rehearsing, recording, and performing brand new original material for release. They put out a 7-song EP midway through the summer, cleverly entitled, EP – 2008, produced by Squillante and recorded in his home-studio in Thornwood, New York. Summer came to an end and EVER SINCE took a well-deserved break as the members returned to their respective colleges. They put out an extremely well received music video for their song, Feel That Way, made up of a few clips from their performances as well as a few candid clips of the band rehearsing and hanging out. They did several shows through the winter of ’08-’09, including a fiery live showcase at Kenny’s Castaways in New York, and at the Westchester County Center in their annual Battle of the Bands, where they emerged the winners. In addition, the band recorded three brand new tracks that they added to the EP, making it a 10-song album entitled Ever Since. EVER SINCE is Greg Fata, Mike Squillante, Phil Spina, and Stephen Ranellone, four talents that have been in and out of bands with each other over the last four years. Give EVER SINCE's music a listen and let them know what you think, they'll keep you posted on upcoming shows, sales, and other events. Rock on!
