The Scene Aesthetic's story starts in December of 2005 in Seattle when Eric Bowley and Andrew de Torres became quick friends and started writing music together. "When we first started, it was really just completely for fun," de Torres says when reflecting on the early days. "I don't think Eric and I ever anticipated that it would turn into anything."

Their assumption was proven incorrect however. Like many bands of their generation, The Scene Aesthetic's popularity stems from a rabid and dedicated online fanbase. This presence could be felt almost instantaneously when they posted their first song, "Beauty In The Breakdown." Soon after, they were being featured as a Top Ten Unsigned Artist on Myspace. "The song caught on so quickly with kids that we just really felt like we should work on some more songs," Bowley explains. "One song turned into three songs. Three songs turned into a full length album."

There are those rare moments in life where things work out just the way you want them to. For us, States is exactly that. In the wake of moving on from our amazing pasts (both Copeland and Lydia), we were blessed by perfect timing.

What you hear now is the product of us experimenting and recording demos at home. Our goal is to get our songs out there as soon as possible, and to be heading into the studio soon after.

This is our future, and we are so excited for you guys to be here at the start of it. We will be writing, recording, playing, and sharing our progress with you all. We hope that you become a part of this new chapter in our lives, and we can't wait to see you all soon.
