Modern rock act View From Everest came together in 2003 after a chance meeting
between lead guitarist Jimmy Maler and vocalist Chad Armstrong. What became of
that random encounter is a catchy, pop rock band with heart, soul, and a passion
to deliver on every song. Maler was recording with his band Dizzy Park at a
local studio in Cleveland, OH when he was introduced to Chad Armstrong, a local
guitarist and former member of the Zachary Walker Band, recording in the next
room. Almost immediately the two began jamming together, found they'd stumbled
upon something special, and View From Everest was begun. To round out the band,
the two enlisted bassist Paul Lewis (formerly of Supercream, Anne E. DeChant), a
friend of Chad's from his Zachary Walker days, and drummer Jerry Buescher,
formerly of Cleveland's Third Wish. As the band came together, Armstrong took
over on vocals and Maler lead guitar, a switch for both from their previous
bands. The two remain the primary songwriters in the band, and their combined
influences, ranging from Led Zeppelin to Keith Urban to The Beatles, are part of
what make View From Everest the undeniable rock band they are today. The clever
song writing and infectious crooning of Chad Armstrong help the band to find
crossover appeal in various audiences. This appeal led the band to be featured
on Alternative Addiction's Top 10 Best Unsigned in 2005, and being asked to
perform at the 2005 Major League Baseball All-Star game at Comerica Park in
Detroit, MI. As View From Everest steadily gains local and national acclaim
through live performance and college radio, the band continues to write and
record. Although 2005 saw the departure of drummer Buescher over musical
differences, he was soon replaced by a friend of the band, JT Tobias, and the
guys signed with Cleveland based Rust Records in late 2005. They are currently
combining their two previous EPs, Swim and a self-titled one, into one release,
Contagious, due out February 2006. The band is working with producer Bryan
Patrick (Between Home and Serenity, Cherry Monroe, sinOmatic) to remix their old
songs, along with adding several new ones, for the album. In addition to their
February release, 2006 is shaping up to be a busy year for the band. View From
Everest will be playing regional and local shows before the band jumps back into
the studio to record their full-length album, ready for a tentative May 2006
release date.
