After years with New York's electro-modern rockers Bulletproof Messenger, guitarist Scott Martin picked up the acoustic and got back in touch with his singer-songwriter roots. After crafting a carefully curated collection of tunes, he called upon his good friend and drummer David Wasserman to help develop the new material alongside several other hometown comrades. In a short span of time, the formerly acoustic side-project would transform into a full-fledged rock band under the moniker “Storm of the Century”, delivering a big, guitar-driven sound filled with sonic influences from the likes of R.E.M., Brand New, and U2. With a full set of songs and a solid lineup, the band hit the live circuit, playing venues throughout the New York Metropolitan area several times a month, tweaking their sound and refining their act. Their rich, colorful rock sound and solid performances helped them garner excellent live reviews as well as a feature in The New York Times. Late in 2015, after having worked up a string of demos, Storm of the Century set about recording the tracks that would become their debut full-length with Michael Wuerth of The Long Island Sound Studios. As a longtime friend whose familiarity with the songs could qualify him as an additional bandmate, Wuerth's input and helmsmanship pushed the group to create a record true to their vision, utilizing a hybrid of both vintage and modern sounds and techniques. The result is an alt-rock record with beautifully layered guitars, punchy drums, and soaring vocals.
