H2O

Consisting of brothers Toby Morse (lead vocals) and Todd Morse, alongside rusty pistachio (guitars,vocals), Todd Friend (drums, percussion) and Adam Blake, (bass), H2O began after Toby, a Sick Of It All roadie, decided to form his own band, desiring a taste of the spotlight. The band toured relentlessly up and down the East Coast, supporting the likes of Rancid, No Doubt and Social Distortion. Released independently, "H2O" (1996), "Thicker Than Water" (1997) and "F.T.T.W." (1999) helped to raise the band's profile and in 2000, Five years of hard work paid off, and the band signed to major label, MCA Records.

Major debut, "Go" arrived in 2001, followed by appearances on Warped Tour. H2O travelled to Europe in 2005, for a wide scale tour, before returning to the US for shows with The Used, Pennywise and Dropkick Murphys. A fifth record, "Nothing to Prove," was released in 2008, with the release supported by worldwide tours, performing at major UK festival, Reading and Leeds.

In 2011, H2O decided to pay respect to their influences, recording a 15-track cover album, "Don't Forget Your Roots." It was not until 2013 that an album of new material began to surface, with recording for "Was Here" put on hold due to touring commitments alongside New Found Glory and Alkaline Trio.
