One Year Today

rock with a purpose

About Me


One Year Today is a rock trio based out of Los Angeles. Currently, the band is a studio project fronted by pop rock singer/songwriter Erik Scott Smith ( www.myspace.com/erikscottsmith , www.erikscottsmith.com ) Taking on the alias of his darker half, Tyson P., Erik has written a collection of tracks taking out his aggression on Los Angeles, heartbreak, the music industry, and the world in general. However, unlike his solo project (he plays and records every track himself), Erik has banded together with two talented musicians, Dewey Makana and Jarvis McCormick. Together, they form One Year Today.
The music of One Year Today covers a broad spectrum of the rock genre. Taking their lead from a variety of bands, they're music can be described as anything from 'hardcore' to 'pop punk'. "We like to change it up. Tyson (Erik - in case you aren't keeping up) always likes to write music that's real, and since life is an emotional rollercoaster, our music usually follows the same trend" says Dewey.
For now, no tour dates are scheduled just yet, but keep an eye out....as this "side" project is taking on a life of its own.
