When did Stereomud break up?


Recommended Posts

I was just browsing my favorite music news site, theprp.com, and I see a post about former Stereomud lead singer Erik's new band. When the hell did they break up!? They sure didn't last too long. Barely 2 albums and 3 years. That's too bad, I saw them live once and they were really awesome. They also hung out after the show and had drinks with everyone.

In the same interview, Joey talked about his decision to leave STEREOMUD and concentrate full-time on LIFE OF AGONY.

"[My leaving STEREOMUD] was decided for me because, basically, the label [Columbia] did nothing for the band," he explained. "There were some internal problems anyway. The label gave up on us and we had very poor business decisions going around us at the time. The infrastructure broke down. The five guys, being away from each other and not keeping us on the road? We were basically sitting home. With the LOA manager calling me up every day saying, I can have you guys on this tour or I can have you guys playing these shows, it seemed way better than what's going on in my life right now. Also, my heart was always with LOA. I never felt fully comfortable in STEREOMUD. I was never fully myself. [When I went back to LOA] I felt like me again.

"I enjoyed the style [of music played by STEREOMUD, but] the band was thrown together so quickly that there was no time for growth," he continued. "With growth comes the magic. We didn't have that luxury of having that time to grow as a band in STEREOMUD. We got together and we were basically out there immediately. There was no special magic around the band. There was nothing too special about it. I had fun ? I can say that. But that isn't enough for me. I live music. I need to fill that space in my heart, that space that I need for music. I need the music to fill that void. LIFE OF AGONY filled it completely, if not 110 percent." Read the rest of the interview here.

so bsically from what ive read on their site and a couple of others, their tour sucked, the label dropped them.
