Biography
New Jersey, United States (1999 – present)
The band began when two friends, Jack Antonoff and Scott Irby-Ranniar, sharing a common love of music, began playing together. They busked in subways and alleyways in New York, and in 1999/2000 recorded a demo that garnered a large degree of record label interest. Despite the array of offers, the guys, now called Steel Train (after lyric in a Sublime song) eventually chose to sign with Drive Thru Records particularly drawn by the support but also artistic freedom the label offered.
In 2002, the band recorded their debut ep entitled ‘For You My Dear,’ recruiting Evan Winiker (formerly of NJ emo band Random Task) and Matthias Gruber to help with recording and touring. The two later became full members of the band, first Winiker (who was presented as a full member in the promotional pieces for that same ep, released in January 2003) and later Gruber, who joined with second guitarist Matthew Goldman to complete the band and create Steel Train.
Together the band went on to record the ‘1969’ ep (a CD of cover versions of songs from that year that inspired the band and their sound), and their debut album ‘Twilight Tales From The Prairies Of The Sun,’ dropped a year later in 2005.

@Bewbman: if someone wants to understand he/she will dig deeper into the rabbit hole. if someone just wants party music he/she won't listen to the lyrics anyway.

Been listening to Trampoline have to say I love this album, it's one of the few things I can call a masterpiece. Definitely recommend it for anyone because it blends a lot of genres together and in the end it's just really GOOD music. The lyrics however are lol, in half the songs I literally have zero clue what they're talking about, it just seems like gibberish. I understand it's suppose to be all deep and metaphorical but if you use too many lyrics like that in the end your lyrics are only closing it's accessibility.
