Album Notes

There is a new sound emanating through the burnt out steel mills and dirty streets of Northeast Ohio. There is a new spirit and new energy filling the hearts of the young and discontent. In the past this area has been known as "the mistake by the lake", but in the future people will look back and remember this area with a new phrase: "This is where the the revolution started...". This is where THE OHIO SKY began to change the face of rock.

In August 2006 Guitarist Vince DiFranco (ex-Shenoah), Vocalist Rob Montague (ex-Shenoah, This Mourning Memory), Bassist Michael Drury (ex-This Mourning Memory) and Drummer Eric Bambic set out to bring passionate driving rock back onto the scene. Textured melodies, soaring vocals, sonic guitars, pounding percussion, thunderous bass and undeniable hooks. "We want to bring back honest rock music. It's very disheartening to hear artists who don't write there own songs. With the concern being more focused on image and packaging. We want to tear those ideals down and burn them to the ground. " - vocalist Rob Montague. With no barriers or guidelines to box them in The Ohio Sky create music combining their love for anything rock, alternative, and indie.

In December 2006 the boys traveled 3000 miles away from the Buckeye state to Los Angeles, California to record 2 songs with the Dirty Icon production team made up of Logan Mader (Machine Head and Soulfly) and Lucas Banker (Junkie XL). Showcasing the bands talent for great songwriting and strong focus on melody, "Vanish" and "The Getaway were born. Building steam upon returning to Cleveland, The Ohio Sky has been playing relentlessly to pleased crowds in and around the region. With the word spreading and the support of local radio, the band is heading back in the studio with producer Ben Schigel (Drowning Pool, Chimaira) to record more songs for a forthcoming self titled EP due out June 2007 on local indie label Approaching Storm Records. With a sound as huge and awe inspiring as the sky itself this is a band to watch, so raise your flags and raise your voice, this is THE OHIO SKY.
