The Manual tells me that my life is a failure

About Me


Hailing from Long Island, NY, Conflict In The Sky consists of 3 guys who are determined to create their own rock sound, and to create music that is real. With influences that range from classical music to industrial noise metal, it's hard to put them into one single genre. If you ask them, they'll tell you they are a alternative rock band, but listening to these songs, you hear so much more. These songs are dark, melodic, beautiful, powerful, ambient, and catchy, all in one package.
Powering the songs are Chris Fullam's distinctive vocals, while Al Torres and Chito CN create the pulsating rhythmic foundation that allows the rock and synths to flow together effortlessly. It's also not often you hear such intelligent lyrics that are catchy and easy to understand. On the harsher, guitar-driven, "Exile," Chris describes a person who has been banished to an island because he found out a truth that would hurt those in power, while the electro-rocker "Staring Contest" tells the story of man with a guilty conscious who is wondering if he can live with the awful things he's done throughout his years. Little hint - not all stories have a happy ending.
Some of Chris's lyrical influences are Raine Maida of Our Lady Peace, Dustin Kensrue of Thrice, Brandon Boyd of Incubus, and Scott Anderson of Finger Eleven...just to name a few. "All of those guys write incredibly intelligent lyrics, and I've always been a fan of that. They use words and phrases that you haven't heard in 20 other songs," says Chris. Mix that in with some psychology classes in college, and it creates his own unique style. They are definitely worth reading.Read Lyrics:
[Robots] | [Death Clock] | [Staring Contest] | [Exile]
Bottom line - If you are looking for something unique to add to your rock catalog, look no further. This band is just getting started.
With Sellaband.com, YOU, the fan, can get us into the studio to make our next album. You pre-order the CD, when we've sold 5000 copies, Sellaband uses the collected money to fund the album's recording and promotion. The best part - you can cancel your order for a full refund anytime before we sell those 5000 copies. Actually, we lied...that ISN'T the best part. Not only do you get a limited edition copy of the CD, but you can also make money on the albums sales since you helped make it happen. Not bad for 10 bucks. That doesn't even get you a large prime rib sandwich at Quiznos.

So we wont lie, we often go on here and friend request people in mass quantities. It's usually based on you liking something similar. But unlike most myspace bands, we make a strong effort to actually...
WRITE YOU BACK!
Talking to fans.
Crazy idea isn't it?
Without fans, a band can't exist. Just know that there are still bands out there who appreciate this fact. We are one. If you leave a comment or write us a message asking us a question, we'll do our best to get back to you. Sometimes it will be 10 mins later, other times a week or so. Just depends on how busy we are.
Since myspace doesn't tell us when you approve our request, there is no real way for us to track it, so please stop by and let us know you are here!
