    Biography

    Recording-studio intern Eric Fisher first met programmer/keyboardist Charlie Clouser while his band (9 Ways To Sunday) was recording in Philadelphia, PA. When he heard the sound Clouser could get from electronic instruments against the band’s acoustic elements, he was inspired enough to start writing with a sequencer and a sampler. He soon found guitarist Steve Stegg and bassist Lou Louvenir to help him with his vision, and he dubbed the project Tapping the Vein. When auditioning singers, Heather Thompson came in and immediately won herself the job with her strong vocals and fantastic writing abilities. They recorded a demo and started working locally, but Stegg and Louvenir dropped out and turned the band into a duo. They brought in guitarist Mark Burkert and bassist Joe Rolland to record a second demo. They started opening for like-minded artists in their hometown, eventually gathering quite the local fan base while their music began to catch on nationally through their involvement with MP3.com. They signed to Nuclear Blast in 2001 and recorded their debut, The Damage, for a 2002 release. ~ Bradley Torreano, Rovi
