Band History:
We are a 4 piece punk band from Toms River, New Jersey. This whole journey began sometime in September (i think) when Mark and Ed, who have been in like 12 "bands" together, decided to try out Mike Joffe for lead guitar. At this time we had Jon Crincoli playing bass for us. After a few practices, Mike was in.. but Jon was out. So, we started searching for a new bassist. In the mean time, Ed, Mark, and Mike started writing songs together. One day, in school, Carmen Ugaro asked if we wanted him to play bass for us, and we were like "What the Hell" so we tryed him out and all went well. From that day on we became Self Reliance. . . . .
