Antaean formed in early November of 2007. The four members got together because of the similarities they shared in their taste of music. The strong influence of classic rock and modern rock is what makes Antaean so unique. They have a sound like no others in Ohio. There ability to please a crowd has been well known by their loyal fans for almost a year now, and having headlined and played many venues in Ohio like the Alrosa Villa, Skully's Music Diner, Oldfield's, the Newport, House of Crave, The Lodge Bar, Gibby's, and countless more, Antaean has left its mark progressing itself to one of the best bands in Ohio.
"Improving every time we play is one of the most important things we try to do as a band," said singer and guitar player Ben Schwarzwalder, "there's always room for improvement, we just try to find every little thing to perfect." With dedication like this its easy to see why the band is going places. In July of 2008 they will be releasing their EP entitled "This Road" which is a much anticipated fallow up to their basement acoustic recordings. Mark Maslowski pointed out, "it was a huge improvement going from those basement recordings to a full EP. With acoustic tracks there isn't that much you can really do with them, but on our EP, we really got to use our full range of talents." These talents include Maslowski's melodic piano riffs that accompany the tracks of "This Road" and "Stolen Away."
With the upcoming debut EP also comes the new and improved website on antaeanband.com. "We have been kicking around some ideas for the website and its coming along nicely," said Eric Morgan. Thanks to the help from professional website designer Wesley Haines and a few graphic designers, the band is hoping the web site should be online by the end of July. Diego Villasmil discussed the web site. "We figured we would get everything out at once to make a bigger impact. With the site and the EP coming out around the same time it might get more people interested in our music."
