The Years Gone By is a four piece pop punk band. The band consists of - Nickolas Madore (Vocals/Guitar), Mike Polimine (Guitar), Louis Dobrolsky (Drums) and Will Johnston (Bass). The band was created and resides in Freehold, New Jersey.
The band started with childhood friends, Nick Madore and Mike Polimine in the summer of 2002. The two started out covering songs from Blink 182, Green Day and New Found Glory. Like most kids in a garage, they never dreamt they'd be touring full time and playing music 6 years later.
"There is no place like home. It's so true. Our town has a lot to do with the shape of our band." Louis Dobrolsky mentions. "Whether it's the weather, the nights we stay out all night just being stupid or whatever. Our hearts are defiantly in Freehold, [New Jersey.]"
With a large following in their hometown of Freehold, New Jersey, it's easy to say that the same love they have for their town, the town reciprocates as The Years Gone By, consistently sell out hometown shows.
Armed with only the dream of seeing the country and playing music they love, The Years Gone By has booked and completed over 11 east coast tours. [Headed to the West Coast this summer] Most nights consisted sleeping on concrete parking lots, grass fields, basement floors and just about anywhere else they could lay there heads down .
What makes them continue this dream? What do they thrive for?
"Overnight drives, dive bars and about 20 screaming fans for about 35 minutes." explains Nick Madore (vocalist/guitarist) "We have played to a 1000 people, we have played to 1 person who was the promoter of the show. Bullshit aside, those are the best minutes of our day. We just love to play music."
The Years Gone By has no plans to slow down anytime soon. They are currently recording in Goshen, New York. Recording a 12 song full length that is attracting plenty of attention. Expect more announcements on a release in the coming weeks. The band also has tour dates to the west coast and back home for a majority of the summer. Keep your eyes on the dates for shows in your area.
"This band is damn catchy. Yeah, I say that word a lot but every song just has a great hook. They write those songs that you find singing two hours later, whether you like them or not. That's crafty. They are starting to continually tour and their online presence is building fast. Labels, what are you waiting for?" - The Daily Chorus.com

"The Years Gone By are hometown heroes taking the plunge into the music industry trying to get by with energetic live performances and the DIY spirit."- AudioSyncratic
"From the very first verse of "The Translation" to the very last guitar sweep on the revived "Severe The Ties," On The Verge is The Years Gone By's "bring-it" EP. With classic pop-punk riffs and vocal melodies that'll rot you're teeth singing along, The Years Gone By may have put out the EP of their careers. Hopefully you'll find yourself picking this up on Tuesday." EssentiallyMixed
"Trust me, you should not pass by this release. The band is very young and so far, very productive. I was amazed that this was up for a review because they should be the next “what’s hot” band in 2008. On the Verge should not be overlooked."- Absolutepunk.net
