"To The Clouds" EP (2010 - 2012)

After playing countless amounts of local shows in support of "Left Floating In the Sea" and continuing through several member changes, the group started to write music again. With this came the release of the single "Still Waters" in October 2010. They continued to write and later hit the studio with Zakk Cervini, producing the 6 song EP entitled "To The Clouds," released November 2011. The group gained fans regionally and nationally and began to tour the east coast in an attempt to build an even larger fan-base. Soon after, however, vocalist Nick Demaro decided to step down from the band. This began a long and grueling search for a new vocalist, making 2012 a very quiet year for Years Since the Storm.


Re-Birth and "Gravity" (2013)

2013 saw new life for Years Since the Storm. With the addition of vocalist Donnie Andrich came the release of new single and music video "Gravity." Showing off a new style heavily influenced by the genre Nu-Metal, this was a new Years Since the Storm.

In February they released the single (Sin)ical. On March 18 they released their debut Artery Recordings full length "Hopeless Shelter." ba Indefinite Hiatus/Breakup The band remained inactive since late 2014 and there has been no update since and this could only assume that the band is now disbanded.
