Newsense: a band that is changing the face of music, creating a new revolution, and re-teaching the
world a thing or two about Rock-n-Roll. In March of 2003, Newsense was officially born when they played their first show ever.
The original concept of the band was dreamed up of by Marc Walther and Tobias Mishel who originally started the band. Marc
was set to sing and play bass, Tobias would play guitar. The first drummer used for Newsense was Ryan Brunty. This set-up
began to lay the foundation for what is now Newsense. The original sound of Newsense was very pop-punk and formulaic, with
songs written primarily by Marc, Tobias, and in many cases Eric Walther, who would later join the band. By late 2003, Newsense
lost Ryan on drums and turned to someone who had been jamming and writing with the band for years. Eric Walther became the
drummer of Newsense. At this time is when Newsense began to expand and more in its sound and added more variety into different
forms of Rock music. The sound was a success for the band and they continued to improve their songs as well as their live
performance. Now Newsense continues writing more songs that are complex in structure, lyrically divine, and still maintain
that catchy vibe that has always been their backbone. Tobias Mishel moved to California during the summer of 2006 and now
playing guitar, as well as bass, with the band is none other than Steven Johnson, a long time good friend and fan. By this
point in time, the songs are written by the brother song writing team of Marc and Eric. Toward the latter end of 2006, another
member would be added to also play the guitar, Jello Nishimoto, who has known the band and its members for several years.
With the new line-up, the band is able to be more flexible by adding multiple guitar parts, more keyboards, and thrive off
of the energy each of the four members have. Unfortunately, Jello had to leave the band to continue his work as a teacher
after over a year of service. So the line-up was adjusted with Steven switching to guitar and adding Declan Desart to the
band to play bass and back up vocals. So after several demos and a live DVD, Newsense in this new line-up releases their full
length album Bittersweet and continues to write, record and play.
