About Me

in.spite.of is a band with a familiar yet uniquely identifiable sound, which separates them from the sea of young new talent. Fronted by two singers, in.spite.of is a vocally driven central New Jersey band that breathes new life into, what is considered by most, a stifled period in alternative rock, a true diamond in the rough. Having put together a strong diverse musical style and a strong fan base, the band has caught the ears of some national touring acts. They have shared the stage with the likes of Incubus, System of a Down, Godsmack, Something Corporate, Injected, and 2 Skinnee Js, to name a few.

in.spite.of has also been able to draw the attention of producer Sal Villanueva whose credits include: Thursdays "War All The Time, "Full Collapse", "Waiting" and Taking Back Sundays "Tell All Your Friends", and recorded with him at the Legendary Big Blue Meenie Studio.
