Brothers Rob and Mark Lind had been active in the indie rock scene throughout the 90's, but when they found themselves bandless at the same time in 1999, they decided to work together for the first time. Finding drummer Anthony Papalardo, they decided to take a modern rock approach to straight up hard rock, blending the emotional depth of emo bands with the gritty energy of Guns N' Roses. Gaining a strong following due to their gigging with bands like Social Distortion and the Mighty Mighty Bosstones, they released The Sky is Falling in the summer of 2002 on Bridge Nine Records. ~ Bradley Torreano
