acoustic emo with influences the likes of Dashboard Confessional and Brand New that originated in a University of Miami dorm room (Walsh 716).
Adam plays guitar and Zach sings and plays bass. Check them out.
humble beginnings:
One glorious evening, Adam came back from the shower (seriously, this happened) to his dorm room to find Zach, a fellow Walsh 7 (represent!) floor mate, scouring through his 200 book CD collection. "Youre my new best friend", exclaimed Zach. "Ok", Adam accepted. A few days later, Zach asked Adam to listen to his song lyrics, ("Adam, hear me sing") and try to write a guitar part for it ("do you have music?"), with the hopes of starting a band. By the wills of fate, it just so happened that Adam had a riff and a song, which he had been playing, with the hopes of adding the perfect words ("Yeah, I have something").
take it from 'jigga what'?:
On October 8th, 2003, the two met in Zach's room (Walsh 716), the first of what would become many jams, "Morning Dew" (not an Incubus reference) was born on this very night with pretty much nothing changed from either band mate's original piece; it was just a complete blending of the two. The line "So hold the corners of my shirt" spawned the band name because they would say "let's take it from 'so'" when playing from the end of the song, that, and partly due to the lack of either of the guys' ability to come up with a cooler and more emo name. honest, I swear.
and now?:
Presently, Take It From So is in their dorm room "studio" recording and producing the self-released 3 song debut demo entitled Always, not Forever. We do not know what it means. They are always looking to play shows. Feel free to e-mail them at Chimp5@verizon.net for booking, or just to say hi.
Adam is from Wantagh, NY.
Zach is from Fort Washington, PA.
ok, so really, NOW, what are you guys doing?:
ok here's the story; since 2004, Zach has transferred from Miami to FAU to Penn State. Therefore, it may be safe of you to conclude that we have not played together in a while. We thought about the whole "record your shit over the internet and send it to me" thing, but we all know that never really went anywhere either.
Zach has been working on a solo project for quite some time called Your Yearbook Page. I wish him the best of luck ("I" being me, Adam).
Adam is still wallowing at Miami in the absence of Zach; trying to write and record in his free time (of which he has a lot of, but is not really "productive" with).
Hey if you're in the Coral Gables area and want to recruit him... IM him; he wants to play.
P.S. SEND ME (Adam) AN ENTHUSIASTIC e-mail and i will be inclined to send you a free Take It From So button which can be bought on cafepress.com if you really want, but as of now only 10 actually exist, (act fast i actually only have like two now) and i will send it to you free because we're all about free music and free exposure... just so long as you promise to put it on your emo messenger bag.
i have to say... that is one sweet button, i would try and purchase one but i already got mine for free from zach. i wear it all around the town and make everyone else horribly jealous.

Have a great day : )
