 About The BandMisery Loves Company are a 4 piece alternative rock band hailing from Los Angeles, California. All members are aged between 21-22 and have known each other since high school. It began when Ryan and Riley had the same PE class, both of them didn't do PE and found a friendship talking about music and their favorite band Blink 182. Soon after Riley's older brother's friend, Josh was playing drums in his house and Riley asked him if he was interested in jamming with them, to their delight he accepted. At the beginning they intended to be a post-hardcore outfit this prompted them to hire screamer Nate Barker and Barker's friend Shay on Bass. They begun touring in local pubs and venues using the money generated to fund their debut album. The band have spent the last year and a half finding themselves and writing for their next album. Members:Ryan Williams - Lead Vox/Rhythm Guitar Nathan Barker - Lead Guitar/Backup Vox Josh Heyler - Drums Previous Members:Mikey Young - Unclean Vocals Shay McCarthy - Bass Guitar Riley Donahue - Bass Guitar  Ryan Williams - 21Ryan is the co-founder of Misery Loves Company. He is the lead vocalist and plays rhythm guitar in the band.  Nathan Barker - 23Nate Barker was brought into the band to replace former Lead Guitarist Shay McCarthy. Nate was previously in post-hardcore band Chasing The Sun with forntman Ryan Williams' sister, Lily. Nate worked on the first album with Misery Loves Company despite not being an official member.  Josh Heyler - 22Josh was recruited by the band after Riley spotted him playing drums in his house. He is the bands drummer but can also play keyboard.

Ryan, you're a little bit like I was back when I was a teenager. Fame is a fucking awesome thing to reach for, and I'm pretty confident you'll reach your goals.
-Eric Quillington
OOC: It's always nice having new people join the forums. Welcome aboard, I can't wait to see what else you'll do. :) |

I invariably answer, 'one word at a time', and this answer is invariably dismissed. But that's all it is. It sounds too simple to be true, but consider the Great Wall of China, if you will: one stone at a time, man. That's all. One stone at a time. But I've read you can see that motherfucker from space without a telescope." - Stephen King |
