I think you'll find this sums things up rather nicely:The history of Willard Fillmore started back in August of 2003 when 3 normal lived boys decided to take their intrest in rock music and creavtivity to the next level. A young Nick Villalba and Andrew Novak decided to work together in forming what would be their first of many bands together. Once Andrew and Villalba got the basics worked out, they needed a drummer. Thus where a lively Stewart comes into play. The band T.S.C. (The Stone Children) was then formed. Between the span of the debut album "A.C.T." to the final self titled studio album, talent, friendships, memories, and greed had all taken shape to disban T.S.C. in early June 2004.Stewart went off to work with former T.S.C. rythm guitarist (added in late May 2004) Carter Saben forming the band SCRATCH. As Saiben's mounting drug addiction grew worse, SCRATCH parted ways in mid July.Nick Villalba decided to put down the bass and pick up his first love, the guitar. The summer of '04 saw Villalba writing many new songs for an upcoming EP, but was later cancelled when Villalba got a phone call from former bandmate Andrew Novak.In Mid July, Villalba and Novak decided to start a new band with the counter parts of Hayden Gilbert (Rythm Guitar/Vocals) and Brian King (drums) to add to Novak (Lead Guitar) and Villalba (Bass). After one lively practice, Villalba and Novak realized it couldn't be done.In late September, Villalba met an exuburant Ryan Boylan (Bass) and decided that Ryan and he would make a great combo for an exciting band. On a September night Stewart recieves a phone call from an old bandmate and friend, Nick Villalba, asking if he was willing to give it a go again at the drums. Stewart Agreed. Villalba searching for the key elements that T.S.C. was without decides to invite Novak aboard the train. Everything was in place, when a voicetrous Sean Wilson hops on the scene and impresses Boylan and Villalba as the perfect lead singer and final piece to the newest band, Quiche.In early November, after Novak continued to miss practices consistantly because he simply "didn't feel like it" long time partner, Nick Villalba, convinced the rest of the band that Novak would sooner or later come around. This never happened. Novak missed one too many practices, and was later asked to leave by Nick Villalba. They parted ways, and Quiche hoped for the best for Andrew Novak.In late November the final shapes and forms of the newest Villalba/Novak project came into view. The band decides to change the name to Willard Fillmore, keep Andrew Novak, and decided to get busy at a debut album that was due in early '05.Thing didn't work out as planned.Willard Fillmore grew to its height of popularity in mid-feburary after many shows and song releases hit the public for the first time. But once you hit your peak there is no where to go but down. The band started getting frustrated as time in the studio was not productive and no shows from various members of the band would occur almost always. On June 17, 2005 the original members of WF took their last bows on stage. June 19, 2005 all the members agreed that Willard Fillmore needed a break.Throughout the summer of '05 members of WF still jammed here and their just for leisure but nothing serious was ever gotten out of these jam sessions. In mid-July a talented Ben Caler jammed with Andrew Novak and Stewart on a warm summer night and impressed both Stewart and Novak.Villalba was given a call and was told of the talents of Ben Caler. They held a practice two days later at the home of Villalba and to say the least it was one of the best practices WF had seen. Ryan Boylan was later asked to play bass once again, and Villalba to pick up the mic. Willard Fillmore never died, and never will.
