No December showcased at A&R Online.

No December fatefully got together with a mutual respect and admiration for each other's talents, as well as a desire to create a widely influenced, unique and heavy sound. The common bond they all share is as strong as the rock from which they carve their fierce yet melodic compositions.

The first incarnation of the band (then known as Trustfall) oozed from the sidewalks of Boston in December 1998. Local and regional gigs followed and the band gained praise from local critics as well as many internet fanzines. The band's reputation began to grow and enabled them to secure gigs all over New England, as well as New York and Pennsylvania.

In August 2000, the band gained a new singer and a second guitarist. With this new line-up, No December came to be what it is today: Ryan Potts-Vocals, Matt Raftery-Drums, Zachary Weber-Guitar, Andy K.-Bass and Steve Cronin-Guitar. The new line-up debuted less than a month later at the Continental in NYC. Regional gigs played since have proven that the band's new more melodic sound has been accepted by the old fans and has won over many new converts. In December 2000, the band released their infamous, independently produced, and now out of print "four song EP". This release went on to be one of the highest selling internet mail order titles in the Wonderdrug Distribution catalog to date.

What sets No December apart from other bands in their genre is that their songs are reality based, extremely melodic, and memorable. In each song, singer Ryan Potts carries the listener through a heart felt story of love, trust, betrayal, or sorrow that people can not only relate to, but truly feel. His melodies are infectious, and have no boundaries of range. As the band constantly strives to push the limits of heavy melodic music, they pour their hearts without reserve into their melodic and aggressive compositions. It is for this reason that the bands live performances fail to disappoint.

No December has developed a loyal fan base by touring regionally throughout the Northeast and spreading their sound over the internet and radio. The band has just released a new full length record entitled "In the Essence of Innocence" which was recorded by producer Jim Foster of Nullset. The production work on the record is excellent, and perfectly complements the band's style. The record was released on February 5, 2002 and features the band's latest material as well as re-recorded versions of the songs previously released on their four song EP.

No December is ready to spearhead music in the 21st century. Their latest release and a rigorous performance schedule will cement their reputation as one of New England's premier loud rock experiences.
