History

Envy On The Coast is made up of the ashes of three former Long Island bands, the pop punk tinged 3 Minute Warning and Kingston 12, and the post-hardcore band Guilt Like Gravity (formerly known as The Prizefighter, a band featuring the original singer of Taking Back Sunday). The band was formerly known as "Writ in Water" and "New Atlantic" and had a different drummer named Alex Schatz, who left the band for college. Dan Gluszak (formerly of Guilt like Gravity) then joined. The band recorded a 5 song EP with producer Bryan Russell which was officially released September 19 through PhotoFinish Records. The band is being managed by Straylight Run's Will Noon, and were featured in April's issue of Alternative Press. The bands first full length CD was released on August 7, 2007 and is entitled Lucy Gray. The artwork for Lucy Gray was done by Drew Roulette who is the bassist for the band dredg. FYE was reported by the band in a radio interview to have labeled the CD by "Easy on the Coast." The song title "I'm Breathing...Are You Breathing Too?" is taken from a line of Robert Bolt's novel A Man For All Seasons. The song title "...Because All Suffering Is Sweet to Me" is taken from the last words of Saint Thérèse. The CD title itself is from the poem "Lucy Gray" by William Wordsworth. They have toured with bands such as 30 Seconds to Mars, Agent Sparks, Angels & Airwaves, The Audition (band), Boys Like Girls, Emanuel, Forgive Durden, Hit the Lights, June, Mikoto, The Outline, Permanent Me, Saosin, The Sounds, and Valencia.They were on MTV2's $2 Bill tour featuring 30 Seconds to Mars, Head Automatica, and Cobra Starship. In the Spring of 2007, Envy took part in the first Alternative Press tour with Cute is What We Aim For, As Tall as Lions, and Circa Survive. In the summer of 2007 the band toured with acts The Sleeping, A Day To Remember, and Valeyra and Kaddisfly, Powerspace, and , as well as a month long stint on the Vans Warped Tour. In September 2007 the band toured with The Receiving End of Sirens and Emanuel with rotating guest openers Bela Kiss and Hopesfall. The band was featured in a Kerrang! Magazine article "Your 10 New Favourite Bands" in July 2007 In September and October 2007, the band supported Madina Lake, with Halifax and My American Heart on their tour in the United Kingdom. In November, Envy on the Coast had to cancel the tour with From First to Last and several college dates after lead singer Ryan Hunter's vocal problems worsened so that he could have time to visit specialists and heal. However, instead of canceling their hometown show in Long Island, Envy on The Coast took the stage without Ryan and had the audience sing their set for them. The band quickly resumed touring once Ryan was better with a 5-date holiday tour at the end of December 2007 with Anthony Green. In January and February 2008 Envy on the Coast will be on the first Pac Sun Tour with The Audition (band), , and A Day to Remember. In March 2008 the band will be headed over to Australia to play the Soundwave Festival with acts including Thursday (band), Incubus, Motion City Soundtrack, and many more. Ryan Hunter will have guest vocals on a song on fellow Long Island band Welwyn's upcoming EP.
