History

Andrew Platt, Crockett Doob and Bob Pycior grew up together in upstate New York, and played together in a number of short-lived groups throughout middle school and high school. In summer of 2002, the three, home from college, formed Skeletonbreath and shortly after began touring the northeast. Bob Pycior played in Kiss Kiss before quitting in 2005 in favor of Skeletonbreath, causing what appears to have become a lasting rivalry between the two groups. In 2007, Doob left the band to pursue other creative interests, including assisting in the production of a film and writing a novel, to be replaced by Tris Palazzolo after a series of auditions for the role. Material for another album is ready for studio work pending completion of the band's current east coast tour.
