About Me

The band was created in early 2002 by Michael Brown, Paul Weeks, Tommy Guilmette, and Justin Lauer as a forum for their developing ideas and a desire to play the music they wanted to hear. In 2003, the band added Corey Stegall as a second bass player, creating an even more ambient and thunderous sound. Since then the band have played over 80 shows, toured the Eastern USA/Canada and released a self-titled EP and two full lengths entitled "Heritage" (recorded by Steve Austin of Today is the Day), and "Rorschach" (recorded by Kurt Ballou of Converge), the latter being released thru Retribute Records.

"Heritage" is currently being re-mixed/re-mastered and going to be re-released by our good friend Pete's new label. Look for that in the coming months!!!

The band is currently on a temporary hiatus, but will return.

zero tolerance review!!!

The Other Side Of The Sky add a dose of 'ambient sludge' into what is presently a somewhat flooded market. But that doesn't make for a negative  review. With Kurt Ballou of Converge fame at the m...
