Stemm

Uniting the efforts of vocalist Louis Penque, Joe Cafarella (guitar, vocals), Rich Spalla (guitar), Russ Martin (bass), and drummer Jimi Penque — most of whom possess previous band encounter — Stemm provides alternative steel with a combined mix of hip-hop along with other nonmainstream styles. Created in Buffalo in 1998, Stemm loved success within the neighborhood music scene, actually playing their 1st display with Sevendust. Featured on many compilation discs and on numerous independently released movies, Stemm documented their first disk, the EP Further Attempts, in 1999. Carrying out a period where their reputation continuing to develop, they came into the studio once again to record their first recording. Dead if you ask me found its way to 2001, receiving reviews that are positive. Stemm also composed the theme tune for the best Fighting Tournament (“Encounter the Discomfort”), hence guaranteeing their hard-hitting audio would become a fundamental element of countless pay-per-view broadcasts and severe sports (their music may also be noticed in various video gaming). The group toured and self-promoted relentlessly around the united states, and by 2004, their effort had gained them an endorsement with Jagermeister (signing up for a family group of bands currently including 36 Crazy Fists, Chimaira, ALL OF THAT Remains to be, and Mushroomhead, among numerous others). Ultimately, the music group — now made up of vocalist TJ Frost, guitarists Cafarella and Spalla, bassist Steve Crowl, and drummer Dan Nelligan — resolved down for another record. The resulting Music for the Incurable Heart was released in Sept 2006 via I Scream Information. Third album Bloodstream Scent made an appearance in 2008 in the Capture 22 label, and something track, “Home of Credit cards,” was selected to end up being the theme for the UFC tv program, UFC Wired.
