Smoke and Mirrors

The winter of 2007 saw the formation of Smoke and Mirrors; leaders of Erie's own Ghost Army and non stop promoters of the amazing Gem City...Erie, PA! Drawing from their past hardcore roots playing in bands such as Brothers Keeper, Shockwave, and Problem Solver Revolver, yet focused on the future, this band of Erie Hardcore veterans have set out to bring new life and attention to the Erie scene. Lead by Dave (vocals) and backed by EMS (bass/vocals), Jon Molar (guitar), Joe Nolan (guitar), and Pat Bolla (drums) S&M have taken Erie, Pa and the surrounding areas by storm with a groovy and energetic sound filled with passion and heart. Over the past three and a half years S&M has released the Join the Ghost Army full length in 2009 on Superhero Records (European release) and The Path Less Traveled Records (US release) along with a self released split 7" with West Virginia's Heart Holds True. Along the way S&M has hit the road hard in the surrounding areas playing with bands like Madball, Bane, Comeback Kid, Blacklisted, Outbreak, Reign Supreme, Advent, Have Heart, Die Young, Pound For Pound, War of Ages, Jesus Wept, Where it Ends, Steel Nation,and many, many more. In 2011 S&M is currently hard at work writing and recording brand new songs to unleash on the world. With two new tracks in the books and more on the way S&M is chomping at the bit to bring their magic to a city near you! Sick City, Dead City, That's Not My City!
