The Sunstreak
The Sunstreak is a band from Rochester, New York.
Career
First known as One Year Nothing, they released an album on B and W records.[1] They played on the Vans Warped Tour in 2002 (before they knew how to play, according to vocalist Tony Rebis), and again in 2006—filling the "Bar-Ba_Q" slot, meaning they played and then cooked for the other bands.[2] Their first album sold 25,000 records in a month, becoming the second band in history to chart on Billboard not having a distribution deal.[1] [3]
The band was named The Sunstreak when they released their major label debut, Once Upon A Lie,[4] on Merovingian, a sublabel owned by EMI.[2]
In February 2010, fellow Rochester local band Intrinsic had turned down an opportunity to perform together with The Sunstreak. Later it was learned that Intrinsic never turned it down, but were kicked off the bill for reasons unknown to them both. This resulted in the two trash talking each other via facebook.[5]
