emergency exit (us)

We are a new metal band who lives in Lexington MA. We started as a band in the begining of our 6th grade year and have been playing since. We aren't yet signed, but hope to be soon. We get insperation for our music from bands like Tool, Korn, Godsmack, and Limp Bizkit.

Late in the year 2000, guitarist Joe Bitton and drummer Ben Roberts, Had the idea at the end of their 5th grade year to start a rock band. Although they didn't know how to do this, they had the ambition of an adult. Late in the year of 2001, Joe got his first guitar, and cherished it for months later. The first time he played it, he strummed every string and created a disastrous sound. Ben and Joe soon realized that even with Joe's ability to play the James Bond theme, there was something missing. Early 2002 singer Raffi Sweet joined the band and Bassist Andy Hughes joined as a band manager. Andy manly sat in the corner and said stuff like, "awesome" or laughed. After the band bombed their first gig at a party, they realized that their was still something missing from them. To solve this, Andy became a bassist. One year later the band got their first good gig, which was a party in the back of Joe's house with a crowd of maybe 40 people. Although they later would be playing for crowds of 500 people, they still look back at this as their best gig. Soon after, Emergency Exit went to Working Man Studios to put together a few tracks for a demo. They then gave the demo away in school, and people loved it. But as time went on they realized how amateur it was. A few months later, the band known as Blackstone, organized a concert called Stone-Fest. The concert was a great night with about a 100 person crowd. The band played for 4 hours and put on an amazing show. Within the years later various gigs were taken and turned down until 2004.

We play live mainly at private gigs, and we are starting this year to play clubs.

We greatly respect and listen to the music of Korn, Early Metallica, Early Godsmack, Limp Bizkit (except Chocolate Starfish Hot Dog Flavored Water), Tool, and many other bands.

We love Jessi, Kat, and Taco Bell
