The Last Alliance started out as a quintet known as "Batteries Not Included" in our local highschool in june of 2003. At this time, the band consisted of only John Ryan amongst fellow school mates. He and several of his friends were sitting in the band room bored out of their skulls and decided to get on their respective instruments lying around and jam. They knew they had something immediately and decided to make a band out of it. The Line up consisted of John Ryan (Guitar/ Vocals), John Marchetta( Drums), Steve McGrath (Guitar), and Eweld Giron (Guitar). They entered the Halloween "Battle of the Bands" Competition after being joined by Guitarist Jonathan Ledesma. His talents proved to be more than enough as Eweld had quit weeks before the show and things looked terrible. We did pull off the show but our ranks shattered soon after as John M. left leaving three guitarists to themselves. There we stood in stalemate and isolation, 3 guitarists wandering from one productiveless practice to another. Eventually, Steve gave in and helped us all by switching to the Bass letting us become a true trio. In october of 2004, we were joined by the massive talents of Richard Quatrano and finally felt like a whole. However, our hardships were not over as unforseen circumstances forced Rich to part ways with us and take up his other project "The Last Word" Full time taking Steve with him in May 2005. Fortunately for us the nigh unstoppable Peter Gazzi signed on as our full time drummer soon after and we're beginning to mend the pieces of a full fledged band. He has truly come as a breath of fresh air to our group as we've progressed from being a punk/ grunge cover band to finding our voices in heavy metal and finally finding our place focusing on a sound more in tune with Old School Metal and European Power Metal. The Future holds many possibilites for us and we'll keep doing what we do best...KEEP METAL ALIVE.
