In the self-penned life history on their web site, From a Second Story Window draw their work by saying, "Simply put, we are trying to create euphony for attention-deficit people," and the group's tight, infuriated blend of math rock candy, hard-core, and demise alloy, henpecked by precise, stop-on-a-dime shifts of pace and melody, sure as shooting sounds like the hard stone equivalent of Ritalin. Most of the members of From a Second Story Window hail from Warren, OH, a humble town along the Ohio/Pennsylvania border (the group's motto is "Ohiovania Dudecore") which doesn't gas a good deal of a music scene. The band formed in 2002 to document the free environment of their dwelling and to advertise the boundaries of the resistance metal sounds they believed were ontogeny stale. In 2003, the band self-released a five-song album, The Cassanda Complex, which intrigued both critics and fans alike; the adventurous metal tag Black Market Activities signed the band, and the phonograph record was reissued in 2004 with the new claim Not One Word Has Been Omitted. The lineup for the debut was Sean Vandegrift on lead story vocals, Rob Hileman and Derek Vasconi on guitars, Joe Sudrovic on bass, and Nick Huffman on drums, merely by the time the ring returned for their sec record album, Delenda, in 2006, Vandegrift left the group and Will Jackson took over as atomic number 82 singer, punctuating his guttural howls with occasional abound of melodic natural-sounding vocals. Extensive touring followed the release of Delenda, with Paul Misko taking over on guitar later Vasconi parted slipway with the ring.
