Jeremy Hernandez and Max Bechard moved to Austin, Texas in fall 2001 to create a new musical outlet for Jeremy's songwriting and Max's passion for music. They teamed up with Myke Bingham and Sean Cockrell to form Near Miss in winter of 2002. Inspired by bands such as Fugazi, Minor Threat, Quicksand, and Faith No More, NearMiss carefully crafts their punk melodic hard-core sound by filling it out with vocal harmonies, crunchy guitar riffs and amazing punk rock drumming. The 4 piece took a do-it-yourself approach to the business and set out touring across the US and Canada. With the help from some friends and the support of their new fans they found themselves headlining and sharing stages with bands such as Sum41, Gob, The Vandals, Goldfinger, Story Of The Year, Yellowcard, Mest, The Distillers and Down By Law. Their hard work paid off and the Austin based NearMiss was welcomed into Fearless Records based in Orange County, California. Their freshman album "The Gentle Art Of Making Enemies" debuted in July 2002 and has sold over 7,000 copies to date. The album was quickly championed by Austin's Modern Rock 101X, where the band remains a station favorite. Throughout 2003 and 2004 the band continued to tour aggressively and made their first appearance on the Vans Warped Tour. The hearting pounding performance earned the guys a spot on the 2004 Warped compilation which pressed and distributed over 500,000 copies in the US and Canada. The year also brought a change in line up, replacing Sean Cockrell with Matthew Crane on lead guitar. Now a part of Takeover Records Family the band's potential is limitless and holds a very promising future. The 1st Takeover release is a 3-Way Split featuring The Matches (Epitaph) and Reeve Oliver (The Militia Group). Summer 2006 saw the release of the band's 2nd full length release, "Testing The Ends Of What They'll Put Up With". The album features stellar production from famed producer Steve Kravac, as well as a guest appearance on guitar from Greg Hetson (Bad Religion, Circle Jerks...). The summer also saw the addition of Joshua Portman (ex-Staring Back) on lead guitar, as well as two US tours and nearly a weeks worth of spectacular performances on the Warped Tour. Since its release, "Testing..." has been receiving critical acclaim from the both the industry and fans alike...
