Alethio is a songwriting/recording/performance project comprised of a collective of Wisconsin musicians.
Currently, the band resides in it's founding village of Sturgeon Bay, where one of it's founding members, Tom Schriner-Schmitt
has been a part of the youth music scene for 6 years. It is a region plagued with conformity. However, the recent birth of the
Steel Bridge Song Fest has given the area new artistic life, unlike it has ever experienced. Alethio has a song featured on the
first Steel Bridge Song Fest CD, from SBSF2, called "The Real Deal." Alethio exists to challenge its
audience; to open their minds to a more clear and tolerant state. To think before one acts is something that
seems to have dissapeared from "humane" culture in modern times. Past incarnations included an experimental folk outfit called
"The Lemon Occupation", an electro cover band that played catchy pop COVER songs and few originals taken from a hysterically
maniacal high school teacher's twisted humor, "Werewolves In Training", and the shortly lived "Brokedown Fortune" which was true
roots folk with natural and organic visual and aural enhancement. This project, like all projects has a purpose. It is to unveil
the little recognized truths that exist behind the grand facade of fear, tradition, the contrived, greed, and feelings of
insufficiency and apathy created by the powers that be. Through the most clear and tolerant audio mediums available.
influences include: romantic period Russian compositions, dance punk,ambient electronica, soul, psych-Folk,
early moog synthesizer recordings, rap and hip hop, drum and bugle corps,Brazilian and African tribal drumming,
Zenergy, DJs
