Stereo Skyline







Stereo Skyline is an American powerpop band from East Meadow, New York, which formed in 2006.

The group has played at The Bamboozle 2007, The Bamboozle Left 2009, The Bamboozle 2009, The 2010 Take Action Tour, The Bamboozle Roadshow 2010, released two EPs, and their debut album Stuck On Repeat on July 20, 2010, on Columbia Records
In 2006, Matt Villani left the Pop Punk group, Valet Parking to form a new band, called Stereo Skyline. Villani initially played piano and synth and sang lead vocals for the band. He recruited Jay Marotta and Anthony Purpura of his former band, Aerosol, to play guitar and bass, respectively, Dane Drozdzewicz to play drums, and Eddie Dizura of Suddenly October to play guitar.

Soon after the formation of the first lineup, Dane left the band and was temporarily replaced by Chris Capuano of Valet Parking/Set In Color until Anthony was moved to drums. Tom Angenbroich of Don't Fall Darling was recruited to play bass and scream. Eddie also left and was replaced by his Suddenly October bandmate, Kevin Bard, who was recruited to play guitar and sing backup vocals. This would remain the lineup for their first EP, Worst Case Scenario.

Worst Case Scenario was recorded by producer Nick Zinnanti in his Bethpage, New York studio and was released in the Summer of 2006. The artwork for the EP was created by Anthony Purpura. The band toured around Long Island to promote their release.

In 2007, the band underwent a major lineup change. Kevin became the lead vocalist. Matt became the backup vocalist, continued on piano, and picked up guitar. Anthony switched to playing synthesizer, and Rob Michelsen joined the band to play drums. The band played at The Bamboozle for the first time that year.
