Let me tell you a secret...

About Me

Based out of Rockland County, NY and New York City, In Question was formed in early 2003 by Rob Blackness. Throughout various line up changes, In Question has developed a reputation as the band to see and hear in the Tri-State and New York Metro area. Their music is ever-growing and always changing. Once you think you’ve got them figured out, what style or genre they might fall under, stop, brace yourself and prepare to be surprised. From catchy hooks to metal guitar riffs to atmospheric ambiance, or from three-minute pop songs to endless jams, In Question is different every time.

On Guitar, Keyboard, and Lead Vocals is Rob Blackness . Blackness cut his teeth in various local bands, including the pop-rock band BLacK RoseS, where he was the singer and guitarist from 1999-2003. A natural songwriter, Rob has been playing one instrument or another since age five. As a life-long lover and student of music, Rob can be found offstage strumming an acoustic guitar, purchasing records, or in his studio producing other bands. His unique vocal style, solid guitar playing and songwriting are the core of In Question.
“I like to keep things interesting,” says Blackness, “music is a living thing, deeply a part of who we are as humans. At an In Question show you never know what you are going to get. The songs won’t always sound as they do on our albums, the choice of cover songs will always change. You can’t even be sure what instrumentation you're going to see; all you can know is that it will be an experience…and the best parts of life are the experiences.”
On Bass Guitar, Programming and Vocals is Tony Hung . A former member of seasonal band Steel Cricket, Tony has been a member of In Question since the beginning. Tony has been a guitarist and bassist for over ten years, yet he also doubles as an accomplished recording engineer and website designer. With an appreciation for diverse music that is at times overwhelming, Tony brings a huge amount of energy and sincerity to the table. His dynamic bass playing and sense of rhythm lock the groove into the In Question sound.
Also on Guitar is Matt "Strippy" Stritmater . With tastes and influences ranging from Ozzy and Iron Maiden to Faith No More and Red Hot Chili Peppers to Frank Zappa and Lamb of God, Strippy brings a boost of diverse talent to the group. The middle brother in a musical family of 6 siblings, Strippy has had music everywhere in his life since age 8. In the past Strippy has toured with In Question as a sound engineer and is now a welcomed addition as a full time member of In Question.
Last, but certainly not least is Kenny Crowell on Drums and Percussion. The newest member in a long line of In Question drummers, Kenny brings new life to the drum kit and much welcomed desire and creativity. A diehard fan of music, Kenny draws influence from all types of musicians, from guitarists like Zakk Wylde, bassists like Mike Inez, and of course drummers like John Bonham, Sean Kinney, and many others. Aside from being a drummer, Kenny also rocks the percussion kit at acoustic gigs. His solid tempos and beats provide In Question with a firm backbone.
Discography
In mid 2003, In Question released the demo/EP entitled, “Answers”. This album featured Rob, Tony, drummer Tom Pisani and guitarist James Mirarchi. In Question’s first LP, "Until Tomorrow" was released in the spring of 2004 on their own Endless Records and featured Rob, Tony and Pisani. In early 2005, the band released a single containing the song, “Coming of Age”. This was the last recording to feature Tom Pisani. In July 2005, Blackness recruited guitarist Jimmy Nana and drummer Don Donato. This line up released the very limited EP, “Pesdia” in September 2005. In May 2006 “The Cheetah EP” was released. Since then guitarists James Mirarchi and Drew Kelly have performed at various times with the band. Drew Kelly joined full-time in early 2007 and Kenny Crowell joined in August of 2007. Following Drew Kelly's departure to law school in July 08, Matt "Strippy" Stritmater was brought into the group. A new self titled record was released digitally in late May 2008, with a physical copy released in July 2008.

In Question is endorsed by Dunlop/MXR, Dean Markley, Vic Firth, Calzone Case Co. and Soultone Cymbals. Rob Blackness is endorsed by Paul Reed Smith Guitars.
