This Local Southwest Florida Quartet, led by Guitarist Micheal Handley, was formed in 2006. With strong roots of Rock/Grunge mix with Emo/Pop, With Influences ranging from "The Devil Wears Prada", "Bullet For My Valentine", and "Avenged Sevenfold" to "Metro Station", "Boys Like Girls", and "All Time Low" they are widely open to content. Torrella composed the songs, with Handley as the lyricist Mostly made of Teenagers, youngest being 17. They started to rise when in 2007, a stroke of luck landed the band (at the time of five) a series of gigs in their hometown. Then in 2008 the singer of the band, Sarah Daniels passed away. Shortly after, the Lead Guitarist enlisted in the Marines and was recently shipped to Afghanistan. The Bassist, Secondary Guitarist, and Drummer are still enrolled in local High Schools.
