What happens when you take a group of guys from different musical backgrounds you ask? Well, the answer would be The Declined. The four-piece band was formed in late 2005 and consists of Dave Astrauckas, Dave Merciez, Joe Brooks and Jeff Talenti. At the front of the band is Dave Astrauckas with his edgy vocals and melodic lead guitar riffs. Holding up the rhythm is Dave Merciez on guitar and Joe Brooks on bass. The steady and unmistakable drumbeats are provided by none other than Jeff Talenti. Dave Astrauckas and Dave Merciez joined forces in 2003 with intentions on forming a band and began writing music together. In 2005 Dave Merciez recruited his child hood friend Jeff Talenti to take over the drums. After almost a year together they decided to find a permanent bass player. Dave Merciez again recruited another friend Joe Brooks who adapted quickly with his new band mates. After a few months together a unique sound was created and The Declined was born. The energy from their live shows and the songs they perform will take you on a musical journey that can only leave you wanting more.

We are very sad to announce that Chris's brother Jim is in a coma and is not expected to live after a horrible accident. He injected to much insulin and had a seizure, his brain suffred lack of oxygen for up to five hours and stopped working. His brain stem is the only thing to show any life. He has been taken of the feeeding tubes and resperator. He is leaving behind three girls who desperately need help. Please make a donation by going to our my space page, and help his family that he is leaving behind. It is a five dollar donation and will be used to take care of his three young girls.



There is alot of fraud going on on myspace, and to tell the truth it never crossed our minds that some people would think this is a scam. It is not. And for the band on our comment page who said we should join Jim, may God have mercy on your souls you heartless scum. I encourage everyone to tell them exactly how much they suck.

We are trying to raise money to bury a man who isn't dead yet, and as morbid as it seems, it is very important since the money just isn't there. Please help spread the word.








Thank you.



Please forward to as many people as you can or direct them to the negitive sleep my space page at www.myspace.com/negitivesleep

We will be doing a benifit show in the near future also to raise money for the kids.

Thanks for your time,

Negitive Sleep
