Stigmatic has been turning a lot of heads since their inception. The band, based out of Red Bank, NJ, formed when front man Dave Eric (vocals/guitars) and Pete Jaworski (drums) came together in 2002. They went through a few line up changes until finally linking up with Tim Roche (guitars/backing vocals) and Jake Metz (bass) and the band hasn't looked back since. In early 2004 they hit the studio with artist/producer One Track Mike of Little T and One Track Mike (Lava Records) to record a three-song demo that garnered the band much attention in and out of the industry. To date, Stigmatic has had their music featured on several hit MTV shows, received airplay on radio stations from America to Japan and have been nominated for many Asbury Music Awards (the New Jersey music scene's answer to the Grammy's). They have performed in such legendary rooms as The Stone Pony in Asbury Park, NJ and CBGB’s in NYC and have shared the stage with numerous national touring acts. With a masterful blend of Alternative/Hard Rock and infectious hooks Stigmatic has successfully created their own distinctive sound. NJCoast News writes, "They rank among the coolest players on the shore alternative scene today. They are our own personal pick at the Asbury Music Awards and will always be so hip." The Aquarian Weekly writes, "This is an amazing band that is destined for greatness."
