53 Days

53 Days is an American Rock band based in Western New York.

Band history

Early years

John Moore began 53 Days in Buffalo, New York in 1996. The original line-up of 53 Days consisted mainly of Moore (vocals, guitar and keyboards), Tom Robinson (bass), Steve Ryder (guitar) and Mike Sands (drums). The 53 Days original sound was essentially Roots Rock alt-pop that was primarily melodic and lyrical music. In the early incarnation, 53 Days created three albums independently for Accidental Man Records through 2001. Their first LP, Why Would You Care, sold slowly but spawned airplay with the single "Whole Inside". Their second CD titled "Hot Water Music" sold better and received acclaim yet failed to garner much attention outside of the northeast.[1]

A third album followed on the Buffalo Trax label produced by Gary Mallaber (Bruce Springsteen, Van Morrison, Eddie Money, Steve Miller) called "Concert Special". Fans have dubbed it the 'Red' CD. The single "Get A Little Lost" garnered regular rotation in Canada on CKEY-FM 101.1, Fort Erie/ Niagara Falls.

Now

Recently reunited in 2005 the band released a brand new EP titled "Weight Of The World" and has played some regional shows in the Western New York area only. This time joining the lineup to replace departed members Tom Robinson and Mike Sands are Bruce Wojick and Denny Pelcynski also of the Goo Goo Dolls produced band Klear as well as regional country music singer Davey O.
