ANTIVERSE (THE SOUND WILL RISE AGAIN!)

All in all , we are the ones.......

About Me


Antiverse formed in 2002 when Mike and longtime friend Simon Nyako (guitar) decided to start a project together. Having only a portion of the members needed, they started writing songs remaining unnamed. As if by fate, in February 2003 Mike met Chris and drummer Dave Jaskowick at a local music store, both of whom were coincidentally looking for a band to join. In June 2003 Steve Nyako, Simon’s older brother, was given the position of lead singer. After months of hard work perfecting their material, Antiverse began playing shows and indulging in shameless self-promotion as often as they could. Antiverse lost lead vocalist Steve Nyako as he left the group for personal reasons and moved to Florida.Unable to find a suitable new frontman, Antiverse focused on their instruments as they wrote new material. The unrelenting lull without a vocalist finally lifted in January 2005 when they found Doug Kilgore. He and Mike immediately began re-writing the vocal parts as to better accommodate the new lineup and then they went directly into the studio. Mike headed the session assuming recording, producing, and mixing responsibilities. “It was really hard not playing a single show for that long. But it gave us a chance to regroup and bond with our new bandmate – and now we’re back better than ever,” says Simon about the downtime.Aside from all technicalities, Antiverse is a band solely dedicated to achieving their music oriented goals, “and loving life as we do it,” says Doug.P.S. - I never really said that, they just wanted to include me in the bio thingy!
