Third Rail Boot

About Me

Third Rail Boot was created by former Shrinking Violet singer/guitarist/composer Matthew Stitt during the spring of 2003 in Oceanside, NY. Armed with a small 8 track recorder, lots of coffee and some borrowed mics, Matt wrote, recorded, and mixed the 8 track Royal Ave EP in his loft at home. In fall 2007 Matt joined forces with Christos Sarantos (Bass, Vocals) and Tom Santomaggio (Drums) to bring the Royal Ave tunes to life and play them for anyone willing to listen. The band is currently playing around Tampa Bay area and is planning to record a full length LP in 2009.
