After writing songs together for five years, Cease The Day have garnered an eclectic sound from a plethora of influential artists. Ranging from The Sex Pistols and Nas to Rage Against the Machine and Marilyn Manson, Matt and Russ’ influences, while different, have been a successful key in creating a tight musical bond. Meeting in high school, the two played in various cover bands, with minimal success. Following high school the two reunited. Starting anew, what first was a hobby, quickly became a determination. With a burst of creativity, the group wrote over ten songs in their first two years together. Following that, the band experimented with several guitarists, finally succeeding with one. After playing well together for several weeks, Tripp became Cease The Day’s full time lead guitarist. Later adding Pat as the band's rhythm guitarist, Cease The Day's live sound was solidified. The band has gained a notoroius reputation for having an intensity that is unmatched by any other local band. The band is still unsigned but they see no indication of stopping until they get the record deal they feel their hard work has merited.
