History
Unteachers started in 2007, but didn't really progress until 2012. The band started by Stephen Mark Sarro. The first official line-upconsisting of Bassist Brian Denny, Drummer Thom Lambert, and Keyboardist Seth Luzier. The band recorded a demo with some re-recordings of Tantrum of the Muse. This lineup was dissolved. In 2009 Stephen was briefly joined by Tantrum Of The Muse drummer, Rick Wise, who recorded a demo. Travis Turner, who played drums for Aletheian, Solamors, and multiple other bands joined in 2009. The duo recorded a split 7" with Grace & Thieves, which was released via Veritas Vinyl, in 2012. Bassist Josh Kale came into the band soon after. In 2014, the band released their debut and highly acclaimed album, A Human Comedy. In 2017 Rick Wise joined Unteachers again as well as Keith Scotten (bass) and began working with plans to perform later in the year. A follow up album is currently being written.[4][7]
