For the Love of Sloane

Summary: For the Love of Sloane is a four piece original rock band from the biggest little state in the union, Rhode Island. FTLOS consists of vocalist Elese Morrone, guitarist Stephen Moniz, bassist Nick Magendantz, and drummer Jay Jefferson. They formed mid 2007 and have quickly become a family as much as a band that is hoping to help breath life back into the Providence music scene. Each individual band member brings their heart and soul, along with a wide range of influences, to the song writing process, which helps in the originality and diversity of their sound. The band takes their time writing each song, trying to avoid the usual songwriting formulas and cliches but still writing songs with catchy hooks, driving beats, and memorable melodies. 2009 has been an eventful year for the band. Just 4 months in and they have won the 2009 90.7 WXIN Rock Hunt, won the 2009 Motif Magazine Breakthru Band of the Year, won the 2009 NewportRIRocks Battle of the Band, and were finalists in the 95.5 WBRU Rock Hunt. They are currently working on recording their first full length, which has a tentative Fall release.
