Band profile w/photo

BANTER has been rocking the Northeastern United States with a vengeance since 1996, when founding members Dan Sheehan and Joe Smith met and began laying down the foundation of what has been, by Boston standards, an enduring rock legacy. In a college town where bands come and go, BANTER has managed to stay on top of the rock scene while musical fads have risen and fallen.

In five years time the band has been selected to contribute two songs to the MONDRIAN compilation CD in 1999; were featured in the first-ever Zebox.com showcase; have released an e.p. and a single and have just unleashed their debut full length 14-song album, URBAN PASTURES.

From the opening, Eastern drones of the album's radio friendly hit "Open Wide" to the high spirited power-pop of "Three Weeks," BANTER takes the listener on a musical journey of highs and lows, tackling lyrical content ranging from the plight of American Indians to contemplations of the philosophical realm of "Metaphysics."
BANTER is a breath of fresh air in an age of formula-dominated rock.

Out of the harsh winter of 1995-1996 came the band known as BANTER. Originally named Rogues Gallery, they changed their name to Banter due to an incidence that involved members of a heavy metal band throwing chairs at Dan while on stage, claiming to have chosen the name first.

Since then, the band has quickly established themselves in the Boston music scene and released a new CD featuring a slew of new songs as well as many old favorites.

Filled with vigorous spirit, their new CD is sure to delight longtime BANTER fans as well as new ones as the band continues to play and record throughout the Bay State and beyond.
