Montauk Skyline

Originally comprised of vocalist Jonathan Rosario, Lead Guitarist Matt Rooney, and Drummer Ray Slavik, Montauk Skyline originally under the name Scars On Sunrise set out to write new music both heavy and soothing. Upon releasing "Tomorrow", an acoustic song, to youtube, the three decided they wanted to create a fuller and heavier sound to their music. John McGrath, a local surfer, met Jon Rosario on the waves and promptly became the bassist of the group. Jimm Cannatella was originally going to record the groups first demo recordings and actually became the rhythm guitarist instead. The 5 boys embarked from there unified under Montauk Skyline and quickly began playing an excessive amount shows all over Long Island gaining attention from well attended performances at the larger of the venues their local scene had to offer. After a 5 month run with the band, personal complications resulted in the departure of bass player John McGrath. Soon after long time friend Kurt Eckman was brought in to fill the roll and continue on as the permanent bassist. a hand full of a job as the band at this point was playing an excess of shows with little time off as well as plenty of time on the road. Traveling out of pocket and going from state to state to make and meet new fans and expand their reach. This ambition and perhaps overzealous approach to touring took a toll on the band. it was time to begin recording a 5-6 song EP with Proline studios that was planned to release before April of 2013. As of 2015 after the proline release, both members Kurt Eckman and Jimm Cannatella parted ways with MS leading to floating rumors of a "break up". Although the rumors of a disbandment where never met with a official statement by the band, it has been stated on various social media web sites that the band is currently writing a full length record as of 2015 Montauk Skyline is a metal/hard rock band from Long Island, New York. Their new "1000 Feathers" Ep available now!
