Still Bliss
Hi guys! A new album will be coming out with Still Bliss and STEM check out the details below.
In "Band History"
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Still Bliss was formed in July of 2004 It was a combination of three talented musicians who wanted to try out new things. Those three musicians Jesse, Gabe & Steven. (order arranged by age) played together as a band at various events in Japan for about 3 years. Then in 2001 I (Jesse) left the band which was not "Still Bliss" in fact we didnt even have a name at that time, to go and work with another Female Singer. Then a new underground website (www.audiolinkup.com) for musicians of "The Family International" opened up where members of the group (and anyone who registers) could comment on new songs being posted. Then recently STEM and I decided to make an album. With our years of band performing and training in studio work we decided to make a Christian pop punk album, soon to be released on www.s-t-e-m.com
