The Spectators were formed as a 3 piece as Jj, Pat, and Mike had all been in bands before and wanted something new Jj also being the drummer of High Titles joined The Spectators on Bass and Vox, Mike Taddeo and Patrick Farmer had met through a band called The Independent, both having fun in The Independent but also sharing a love for bands such as Real Friends, The Wonder Years, and Stick To Your Guns they wanted to pursue another group and with that the Spectators were formed. They quickly began writing an EP titled "Safe At Home" out now, this being their first EP they were off to a fast start playing with bands such as Living With Lions, Tiny Moving Parts, and various house shows around the area, with Bass, Guitar, and Drums it seemed like everything was complete, but there was always an energy lacking in the music, upon meeting Josh the band had wanted him to be a part of what they were doing, after a few short weeks of Josh coming and learning some songs The Spectators knew he was the perfect fit, With new album Stand While You Can approaching you'll see what The Spectators can offer
