[edit] Biography
In May of 2003, Bloody Sunday was founded. Since then, Bloody Sunday continue to use their energetic music to share their convictions of faith and friendship. The band first gained attention within 4 months of its inception, after they were signed to Strike First Records where their LP They Attack At Dawn was recorded in Hampton, Virginia in October of 2003 by Vince Burke at Sniper studios, and subsequently released on January 17th, 2004 by Strike First Records. After the release, Bloody Sunday gained a considerable fan base touring relentlessly for months at a time throughout the following year; most known for their incredibly energetic live performances. At the end of 2004 Bloody Sunday took a few months off from the road and began work on their follow up LP to "They Attack At Dawn" which would be released by their new label Facedown Records. After months of writing Bloody Sunday was scheduled to record their sophmore effort in New Jersey at Big Blue Meanie studios. Just weeks before leaving for the studio the band faced a serious and shocking setback, their singer Keith, decided to leave the band. With only weeks left until recording, they decided to have their bass player Chris take over on vocals and find a replacement for him on bass. The tapes from that recording were released on May 10th, 2005 entitled "To Sentence The Dead" on Facedown Records. The band is currently working on their third effort yet to be titled, it is scheduled for release in late 2007/early 2008, also to be released by Facedown Records.
