Biography
"Concrete was formed in 1995, by core members Matt Clifford (vocals), Pat McCue (vocals/bass), and Casey McCue (drums).
With the addition of Jeremy Kellam on guitar a few years later, the band recorded a four song demo. After finishing recording, Jay Di Nitto joined the band on second guitar. The demo caught the attention of a small independent label that offered to release a solid, full length recording. Soon after the recording was completed, the deal with the label fell through, and Concrete's 11+ track debut was picked up by a small local record company.
Another couple of years passed, and saw the band playing numerous shows around the New England area, and building a strong regional following. They decided to head back into the studio to record another demo. This recording launched the band into new territory (opening for P.O.D. at the Paradise Rock Club in Boston, MA, and an opening slot at the "Inside Out Soul Festival" at Loon Mountain in NH). At what seemed to be a strong and steady climb in artistry and popularity, Jeremy and Jay left Concrete to pursue another project. Subsequently, the core members of the band went on what appeared to be a permanent hiatus.
And now, almost two years later, Concrete has been reconstructed with the additions of Rob Brannon and Sean Egan on guitars. Their second wind is gaining momentum, and it shows in their live performance. Expect to see them go places in the near future."
Update from October 2002:
"Despite what you have heard, CONCRETE has not broken up. We have decided to do CONCRETE on a part-time basis, allowing for different musical interests to be expressed through other outlets. We do have a couple shows lined up at this time, and they will be posted shortly on the site. We will hopefully have some sort of recording available to showcase our new material in the near future; although, the certainty of that is questionable at this point. We know that the fate of CONCRETE is in The LORD's hands; and we will do our best to wait patiently, to see what exactly He has in store for us."
The band was set to record a 5-6 song demo EP at Zing Studio in February 2003, but a lack of updates on their website suggests they disbanded before that.
