ism is an Alternative-Rock unit which combines smart lyrics delivered
with high emotion and elements of Electro-Rock and Industrial; the band
started in 2003 in New York City, New York USA, with Andre Mistier on
vocals+guitar, Gerard Toriello on guitar, Leigh Battle on bass and Michael
Higgins on drums.
The band's critically acclaimed full-length debut debut, "Monkey
Underneath", was released on STM Records in February 2006 preceded
by the alt-Rock radio single "Breathe".
On the road supporting their first album, band members began to flip
the script, taking their focus away from standard musical sensibilities.
An industrial rumble and a resonant electronic soundscape gradually became
the base of their live sets, with the more organic instruments, guitar,
bass and drums, better integrated into the mix. That sensibility and the
many new songs that were honed on tour, became key as ism re-entered the
studio for "Urgency". "Sacred Cows" is the the new
single from the group's sophomore album due out August 5, 2008, via STM.
