After 7 years rocking the Denver music scene, our longtime frontman and brother Aaron DeLand has decided to step out of the lime light and move forward in life to pursue other interests. Aaron has been a big brother to every member of this band, past and present, so with heavy hearts and enough respect to choke a liger, we wish him farewell from The Calm Before.
----------
The Calm Before was born in late May of 2004, from the ashes of the infamous Denver-area rock band Feature981. Though the Juggernaut made great headway in the Colorado music scene, the group felt pigeonholed and dated. Everyone knew it was time to shake things up a bit.
The group shed their skin of all titles, associations and achievements, including being awarded and recognized as the "Hardest working band in Denver", and went into the basement. After a summer of writing, rehearsing and planning, the group entered 8 Houses Down in Denver, Colorado, to record their efforts. The stage was set for The Calm Before to storm back into the music scene, and thats exactly what happened. The immediate reaction to the groups return was incredible. Over the next 8 months, The Calm Before averaged three shows a month, produced a music video and made occasional weekend treks across the state. These kids worked their asses off, but something was still missing. On the one year anniversary of the debut of The Calm Before, percussionist Jim the Worm was brought into the lineup to replace the bands previous drummer. Jim's individual talents have breathed new life into the powerful, breathtaking sound of The Calm Before.
