Since their move to NY in Feb. '03, The Deep End has appeared at The Elbow Room, Acme Underground, CB's 313, and others. A following has already begun to develop for the group due to their well-rehearsed song execution and onstage energy. The band released their first album Sept. 2002 with high sales in the midwest. Their second album, released Jan. 2003, is currently being played on east cost college radio stations. The highly anticipated third album titled "iii" has just been released.

The majority of The Deep End's music is original. Their sound is a driving mix of electric and acoustic guitars, powerful, catchy vocal melodies, and a rock solid rhythm section Influences are pulled from many different musical styles including latin, rock, pop, folk, and others.

Band Members:
Jaime Gylan is the frontman, founding member, songwriter extraordinaire. His love for music dates back to his youth, however, it wasn't until '99 that his musical career began to take shape.

With a dynamic stage presence, wistful lyricism, and creative chord progressions he proves to be one of the most eye-catching musicians in the NYC area.

Brian Cole's mind blowing guitar riffs and creative outlook on music completes the finest songwriting duo since the days of Lennon and McCartney.

Upon Attending high school he was taught music in a more constructive way since then he has attended Music tech collage and continued to pursue his love of drums and music by joining The Deep End, to create music for the masses and the ages. It is the wish of the band as well as himself that everyone take away a little inspiration from the music to go out and enjoy life.
