Vinyl Square

The band formed during March of 2012.

OUR STORY:

Mike, Jon and Connor were a three piece band together called Spectrum throughout all four years of high school (2007-2010). In March of 2012, Jon and Connor came back together with our friend Sal on bass to self-record 3 original songs using only 2 microphones in the basement of our friend Kadums parent’s house in Westford. The purpose of those demo tracks was to be entered in for a chance to get a spot on the URI Hempfest 2012 line-up in April under the name “Timeless”. We did not play Hempfest 2012…

The band played only two shows…the summer of 2012 with Sal on bass, Mike on drums/guitar, Connor on lead guitar/drums and Jon on guitar, lead vocals and harmonica. Those 2 shows were on the same day for 2 separate summer parties (Thank you Ed and Evan).

Ben had been our very close buddy since about the 5th grade. He had been noodling around on his brother's bass during the previous couple semesters at URI and would come and jam with us just for the sake of noodling with his buddies while we practiced. It did not take long before he knew all of our songs and had even written his own parts to most of them. August 24 2012, the four of us played our first show together, (ben’s first show ever) as “The Tymes”… Ben got us the gig.

NOW:

We are moving forward in our journey as "Vinyl Square".
It has been two and a half years since, and we have recorded two sets of EPs and are working on our first full length album. We have played over 50 shows on sweet stages like The Hard Rock Café Boston numerous times, The Bull Run Restaurant in Shirley, MA, The Middle East in Cambridge and even live on 91.5fm WUML! We have also had our previous recording of “Stay Awake” aired on 106.3 Frank FM multiple times!

In the near future we have plans to move into a house together in Nashville, TN as a band in a town where music is happening and growing.

Until then, the plan is to get our new EP released and out there while we finish recording our first album, play more shows, write songs and learn more about our craft. And to get out of the state!
