Instrumentation: Daniel Buckley - Guitars Joseph Micolo - Bass Brian Calhoun - Drums John Alaia - Vocals YEAR OF CONFESSION , from Massapequa NY, is a 4 piece band that sets aside all boundaries when it comes to making music. While distancing themselves from anything stereotypical, they remain able to generate a solid sound that appeals to a broad audience. Influential bands such as Faith No More, Pantera, Tool, Iron Maiden, Meshuggah, Led Zeppelin, Incubus, Candiria, and The Beatles, have all had a hand in sculpting this unique entity. Though YEAR OF CONFESSION creates music that is deeply rooted in Metal, it is also backed by a Rock and Roll approach that will live on forever. YEAR OF CONFESSION has built a foundation of support within diehard fans that continues to grow today. Since originally forming in 2003, the band has made some needed changes to the line up in order to take the music as far as possible. With drummer Brian Calhoun taking over duties for Steve Simari, came a confidence in bringing their goals that much closer. Year Of Confession has released two EPs on their own (Cycles of Man, and A Blood Decree), both of which are currently available through most popular download sites on the internet. Their music has been played across internet and college radio stations, and they have also made it to the Semi Finals in the Emergenza Music Festival. Hard work and self promotion has earned YEAR OF CONFESSION shows with artists such as Unearth, All That Remains, The Acacia Strain, Shai-Hulud, Trivium, Full Blown Chaos, The Sleeping, It Dies Today, and many others. Their intense live show can be seen captured in the March 07 issue of REVOLVER MAGAZINE . Some venues they have played include The Crazy Donkey, The Downtown, Club Ritual, The Living Room, The Stone Pony, and The Knitting Factory. "Currently" , new material is being written for a future release. These songs will showcase the bands refined writing ability, and prove to be the most natural yet. Stay Tuned! “With the energy behind each song, it is hard to believe that this monstrous sound comes from just a 4-piece band” - Jackie Mcbrien, Music Patch Magazine. “These boys are talented and really seem to get "it" as they use their wide ranging influences of Slayer, Pantera and Faith No More to create their own unique and intense brand of metal.” - Matthew Hoffman, HardrockHaven.net BOOKING CONTACT: Band@Yearofconfession.net
