Details:
QUANTA first took its shape in the latter half of 1999. It was formed by Ryan Mekota, Pat McNulty, and Conor Doyle. The then 14 year-olds had just picked up their instruments at the time: guitar, bass, and drumsticks, respectively. During the first few months, Ryan, Pat, and Conor got together simply to jam and relish in their newly discovered outlet of music. Later on that year, QUANTA decided that if they wanted to make any headway, a guitarist was necessary in order to allow Ryan to concentrate on developing as a vocalist. Not soon after they recruited Kyle Johnson to fulfill that position, a classmate at their high school.
At the end of summer 2001, QUANTA launched a modest website to further aid in getting the band name out to the masses. Then it was under the previous band name “UpFront.” Ryan, Conor, Pat, and Kyle recorded their first demo at five songs in November of 2001. The five songs were put up on the website and received a noteworthy amount of attention from out of state people and indigenous Clevelanders alike. However, QUANTA knew that it was easy to become stagnant in the music scene, so they began playing shows and writing heavily for another demo not two months after releasing their inaugural recording. During this time, Orion Drum Company out of Indiana got wind of the demo and offered Conor an endorsement. After several months of high school and writing, QUANTA decided to go back to the same studio to record again. In the pursuing summer of 2002, QUANTA (then “UpFront”) released Of Standard Aura at eight songs in length. With this CD came an increased amount of shows at higher profile venues and a more intense practice regimen. It was during the support of Of Standard Aura when QUANTA won a Battle of the Bands competition, beating out 19 other bands. A few months more of school, shows, and practice went by and they decided the time was right to go into the studio once more, this time only a three-song demo at Cleveland’s premiere studio, Metrosync. QUANTA opted for just three songs to get the taste of a professional environment – which of course came with a professional price tag. The demo was recorded over a three week span in January of 2003 under the new name “QUANTA.” Amidst the name change and new demo, QUANTA’s friend-turned-webmaster created a new website. They utilized the demo to continue cementing their name locally in the Cleveland music scene. By this time booking shows and networking became an efficient science, and more fans began flocking to the QUANTA sound. Soon enough they acquired a merchandising agent and launched QUANTA merchandise. In September of 2003 QUANTA again felt the desire to get their ideas down on tape, so recording for another demo went under way. To record this four-song demo QUANTA went back to Moondog Studios in Kent, Ohio. They labored over the four songs more than ever before; in order to ensure that the funding would be exhausted before creativity. After approximately 50 hours in the studio, the demo was finished. Then came time to promote this; their dearest production thus far. A few months of pushing the latest demo passed, and QUANTA received the chance to open for such acts as Lava recording artists Hot Action Cop, Roadrunner Records recording artists Dirty Americans, and Gemini Records recording artists Freekbass to name just a few. And later that year in 2004, they entered and won the John Carroll University Battle of the Bands, beating out nine bands their senior. All of this occurred before the end of Quanta’s first year of college education, each member the age of 18.
QUANTA released their fifth demo, entitled Stave the Martini, in 2005. The three songs on this LP were again their strongest yet. After considerable attention from this demo, QUANTA decided it was time to finally record a full-length CD. In January 2007, QUANTA released their first full-length CD, entitled Have Moved You. It is made up of seven entirely new songs as well as five revamped and re-recorded favorites, all original material. Give some of the tracks a listen if you haven’t yet!! We hope you enjoy!
