The Bride Wore Black is a powerpop band from Queens, NY. When you combine the catchy synthesizer of an 80s pop band with the fast paced energy of an old school pop punk band, there before you lies, The Bride Wore Black. The danceable sounds and unforgettable sing-alongs revamp the genre in a way that is both fun and new, but also stays true to its pop punk roots.

[edit] History
TBWB grew up on bands like New Found Glory, The Ataris, Midtown, and Blink 182, so they wanted to do something of the same nature, but with a brand new twist. At an early age, lead singer Sean Walsh had been exposed to the synth-driven rock of the 80s as well, and throughout the years, thought the two styles would accommodate each other very well, motivated by the highly addictive riffs and melodies of both genres. In August of 2006 he joined up with life long friends Sam Fruner (guitar), Mike Antonucci (bass), and Tim Vargas (synth/piano) who shared the same passion of making music that they truly loved and taking it to a place that was far beyond the imagination. With their goals set and song writing underway, all they needed was the last piece of the puzzle, and they found it in local drummer Devin Passariello. From there on, the band quickly developed a loyal fan base by playing shows throughout the Tri-State area with bands such as The Pink Spiders, The Almost, Amber Pacific, Forever the Sickest Kids and many more.
