As one of the few progressive bands on Long Island, Optic strives to maintain a level of musical integrity, both for ourselves,
and for our audience. The band originated between Ryan and Scott in college, two freshmen eager to break free of the

As one of the few progressive bands on Long Island, Optic strives to maintain a level of musical integrity, both for ourselves,
and for our audience. The band originated between Ryan and Scott in college, two freshmen eager to break free of the
limitations of the Long Island music scene. What happened was an explosion of creativity. Through channels of friends, Steve,
at first skeptical, became fully immersed in the band in 2008. The trio became close friends and came to write 2 hours worth of
material together before the following year. In the summer of 2009 Mike joined the band on bass. After a long search for a
vocalist, Kenny, a long time friend of Optic, joined the band in the summer of 2011, completing the lineup. In mid-2011, they
self-released their two-track"Drown The Earth" EP and have been mailing it to fans around the entire world. Currently and to be
soon released at the beginning of 2013, they are recording and preparing their first full-length album.
We pride ourselves on not compromising for anyone's expectations, and write music from our deepest, and often darkest
emotions. Our music is honest expression, whether it contains hope, depression, relief, or excitement; prepare yourself for an
emotional journey unprecedented by our contemporaries.
