Biography
Gatsbys American Dream is a seattle-based rock band. Since their founding in 2002, they have written four albums, and one EP. They have also appeared on a few compilations with original songs and covers. Gatsbys American Dream gets their name from The Great Gatsby, a book written by F. Scott Fitzgerald. Although it’s widely agreed the band is hard to classify into one subgenre, it can be said they draw influence from alternative pop/rock, indie pop, indie rock, post-hardcore, and pop punk.
Gatsbys began with the disbanding of two bands called One Point Two and Good For Nothing. Bobby Darling was a guitarist for One Point Two and met up with Nic Newsham and Ryan Van Wieringen who were the lead singer and guitarist from Good For Nothing. The completion of Gatsbys didn’t come until they recruited Kirk Huffman (formerly of K Through Six) to play bass and Dustin McGhye as their drummer, to make them a five piece band.
When Kaylan Cloyd from the band Acceptance got his hands on a Gatsbys demo, he handed it off to record label Rocketstar Recordings owner Darrick Bourgeois. Shortly after this, they were signed by the local record label and worked with producer Aaron Sprinkle to record their 2002 debut album Why We Fight. Their first show after being signed drew in a crowd of 500+, which was largely due in part to the extensive promoting by Rocketstar.

Gatsbys American Dream redirects to this, so until it's merged what's the point of changing the album covers? it doesn't solve anything

Petahhhh
@Rutacos: Does that mean they can neglect using their Facebook OR Twitter? Two outlets to connect to their fans (judging by the Facebook posts) who are impatient for new material or at least an update.

@Petahhhh:A lot of them work normal jobs and are in many different side-projects beside Gatsby's,so it's not like they aren't busy.

This is the incorrect spelling. Check your tags on Gatsbys American Dream and suggest correction.

There shouldn't be an apostrophe. Without an apostrophe is how the band spells it. That is the correct way.
