Heres a little northeast attract history for you all. The band was on the midst of forming in 2005 with stephen gardner who sang and played guitar, Jamaal Simmons who just recently took on the role of playing drums, and Jon mausch who played the fish and brought his creative bass lines to the band started all working together to write music. Steve and Jon had always had the idea of starting a band together and there styles of music writing and playing has changed dramsticly from then to the present day. Steve and Jon first began playing classic rock songs together and were new to writing music. They wrote the first song out on steve's deck, and loved the feeling of playing music. They began looking for a drummer, and jamaal simmons had just began taking drum lessons and he fit the role. " we all began playing in people basments to get exposure and confidence " Later on it was time to find a guitarist, and spencer smart, a very good metal head guitarist in aurora began practicing with them. " We went through so many changes musically, I started being introduced to indie music and more upbeat pop songs, while jon was into metal bands along with spence. It really sounded rough, but cool, and it kept some of the same aspects our earlier songs had. The band played in jamaals basement. Later on one week when we were gonna practice spence couldn't make it and we decided without thinking much about it to try out jake yonkers who played a mean guitar haha. That one practice was one of the best ones we had as a band. We began writing songs with jake, and he later joined the band. Steve began singing alot and his vocals grew strong :) haha. Later on Jon became indecisive of what he wanted to do with the band, and left sadly. Then as we kept practicing as a band we had our first song " You Can't Float Under " Done, which was written in the early summer of 2006. We also had 1 more song written " Take In More Than You Can Handle". With 2 songs we went into the recording studio, the first time for all of us, and recorded,antously waiting to expose our music. We uploaded our songs the night recording was done, and watched happily as we saw that aurora enjoyed our songs. YAY. We began playing shows and getting our name out and having fun. Jamaal later left because we wanted to get a more in sinc drummer. Andy Frank joined us and we wrote all kinds of shit haha. We played a little more shows, never that much, but we just enjoyed writing. Lateras andy and jake wanted to keep the band going, steve decided to quit the band he had started. It caused alot of problems but things do happen for a reason. Now everyone is doing different projects, but one things for certain, we will always remember this.

Hey we are Northeast Attract a band that was generated last year. It started out with Stephen(singer/rythm guitar), and Me, Jamaal (drums). We were looking to start a band with John are old bassist but he moved and Steve and I had to try out several people this past year. Stephen always had hope to make a band, I really didn't believe it was going to happen. We finally added our lead guitarist Jake who we didn't really expect to join us. So now it is just us three for now. We are looking for a bass player and a Lead Singer. I will update this blog when ever i can or when I feel like doing it like right now because I am in my computer class with nothing better to do.
