On September 28, 2003, during a tour supporting Thursday, Death by Stereo played a solo show in Blacksburg, Virginia, at a venue called Solar Haus. Tito was credited also, as 'additional guitars'. It is for this reason, that the album's liner notes, still credit Jim and Dan as the band's guitarists. They released Into the Valley of Death, which was mostly recorded while Jim was still in the band, later that year. Tim "Tito" Owens replaced him during a European tour. In early 2003, during the recording of their third album, Jim Miner left the band. Their 2003 album Into the Valley of Death contains a track called "I Wouldn't Piss in Your Ear if Your Brain Was on Fire", which Dan Palmer has said was written about their warped experience. They returned to their tour nevertheless. It was rumoured that one Death by Stereo's crew had assaulted someone, which forced the band to drop off the tour for a few dates, even though they denied the accusation. During the tour however, there was some conflict between the band, and some of the behind the scenes crew. At this time, Tim decided to leave the band and was replaced by Todd Hennig from 'Heckle' and 'Seven Years War'.īy 2002, Death by Stereo had become fairly popular, as evidenced by a spot on the Warped Tour for that year. Between a tour with Bane and Adamantium, they finished their second album, Day of the Death, which was released in January 2001.ĭeath by Stereo spent almost all of 2001, touring North America, with bands such as Sick of It All, Boysetsfire, The Hope Conspiracy, AFI, Rise Against, Nicotine and The Planet Smashers. In the winter of 1999, during a tour with Straight Faced and Ignite, Brett Gurewitz from Epitaph Records approached the band about releasing an album, ultimately signing them in 2000.
He was replaced by Dan Palmer, formerly of the band Eyelid. Keith also left the band, to pursue his other bands Throwdown and Eighteen Visions. Shortly after Jarrod moved to Boston to pursue music full-time at the Berklee School Of Music, and was replaced by Tim Bender. In 1998, Death by Stereo was signed to Indecision Records, and released their first album- If Looks Could Kill, I'd Watch You Die- in the following year. Following this release, Ian decided to leave the band, and was replaced by Keith Barney. By late 1998, the band released their first official release Fooled by Your Smile 7". On March 5, 1998, they played their first show, and soon after began playing more shows around Southern California. Out of the five songs, four of them went on to be re-recorded and included on their first album. They recorded five songs at For The Record Studios, where Paul worked. The five practiced in Jarrod's garage for a few months before recording a demo. Paul's record label Dental Records had released music by Clint and D-cons and would later go on to put out the first Death by Stereo release. All five members had known each other long before Death by Stereo formed, as their former bands had toured and recorded together previously. Jarrod and Ian were from the band D-Cons, Efrem was from Clint and Paul and Jim, who are brothers, were from CleanX. The band was formed by Ian Fowles, Jarrod Alexander, Efrem Schulz, Paul Miner and Jim Miner out of what were the remnants of their former bands.
