If you're into mainstream, homogenized music, like the current pop tarts, boy bands, and bullshit like that, I can 100% guarantee you will HATE my music. You'll listen to my stuff, and immediately wonder why it sounds the way it does, and that's because my band actually sings and plays the instruments, instead of relying on lip-synch and machines. Save us both a lot of time and go elsewhere ~ get your bubblegum ass the Hell away from me! ;) I'm trying to impress only 1% of the population of the world, but guess what?! THAT IS 65 MILLION PEOPLE! *laughs* ;)

MICHAEL STOLLAIRE:
Michael has been singing lead vocals, and playing lead guitar/keyboards in rock bands since the tender age of twelve, playing music ranging from 1950s rock and roll to full-bore hard rock, and everything in-between. He picked up playing the guitar when he was fourteen and has been amazing audiences with his talents ever since. He began writing and recording in the mid-1990s, and has been a non-stop blur until the current day! His songs and style are inspired by artists like Nickelback, Good Charlotte, Green Day, Maroon 5, Asia, Boston, Def Leppard, Dream Theatre, Edenbridge, ELP, Evanescence, Judas Priest, King Crimson, Led Zeppelin, Nightwish, Rush, Yes, ZZ Top, Metallica, Guns ‘N’ Roses, and Van Halen.
Michael was fatally infected with FM radio that was playing constantly throughout his childhood, in the house and in the car, along with a scattering of Beach Boys 45s that he inherited from his Mother. He began playing guitar and writing songs around 14 years of age. Magazines, posters, CDs, cassettes and records were constantly scattered throughout his room, and a dream is born. Picture him sitting alone in a room playing and singing into a cassette recorder. Then, he was involved in a seemingly endless string of bands, where he cut his teeth and his unique style was germinated. Then, he moved to California in the mid-90s, following his heart and career. Over the next 15 years or so, he played and recorded with a chain of club rock bands, as well as many solo performances and recordings. Currently writing a book of poetry, based on existentialism and romantic meanderings, with a working title of “Better Late than Never.”
The "Trinity" EP was pre-released at the first stadium concert of the 2007 "Holy Avenger" tour on August 25th, 2007 at the "Summerfaire '07 World Peace Concert" at The Orange Show Stadium in San Bernardino, California, along with a half dozen Midwest dates in mid August!! The full-length CD, "Holy Avenger" was released in Spring 2008, and it is available at michaelstollaire.com, iTunes, eMusic, CD Baby, Napster, etc. and select retail stores around the world. Michael is currently on the road, supporting the album on a tour that will span the globe, and working on demos for an upcoming EP, tentatively titled "No Shock," to precede another full-length album, "Lightning Strikes Twice," to be released in Spring and Winter 2009, respectfully. Producing video footage as well, for a live DVD release, "Electric!!!" ROCK LIVES!!!
