Noise By Numbers is pop punk band featuring Dan Schafer (Screeching Weasel, the Queers, the Methadones, Sludgeworth), Jeff Dean (The Bomb, All Eyes West, Four Star Alarm, The Story So Far, Dead Ending), Rick Uncapher (Textbook, Dan Vapid and the Cheats, Woolworthy), and Jimmy Lucido (Nightmare Air).[1] Their sound has been described as reminiscent of Hüsker Dü, the Replacements, Dinosaur Jr., Naked Raygun and the Effigies.[2]

History

The band formed in late 2008 when long-time friends Dan Schafer and Jeff Dean started writing songs together.[3] They recruited bassist Rick Uncapher (Textbook, Woolworthy) and drummer Neil Hennessy (The Lawrence Arms, Smoking Popes) to complete the line up. They recorded their first album, Yeah, Whatever... with Matt Allison at Atlas Studios, which was released in November 2009 on Asian Man Records (CD/Digital) and Solidarity Recordings (vinyl). Hennessy left the band after recording the album and was replaced by Jimmy Lucido (Light FM, The Strays, Bang Bang). The band's second album, Over Leavitt, was recorded by Jeff Dean, produced by Jon Drew (Fucked Up, Tokyo Police Club) and was released August 2, 2011.[4][5][6]

Mike Soucy, of The Methadones, has also played drums with the band live.

The band has performed with acts such as Rise Against, Alkaline Trio, Hey Mercedes, Small Brown Bike, Banner Pilot, 88 Fingers Louie, The Bollweevils, and Bomb the Music Industry. They have also taken part in various festivals, including Insubordination Fest, Windy City Sound Clash[7][8] and Fest 9,[9][10] and they toured the East Coast in August 2010.[5][6]
