Biography

Although the band formed in 2002, lineup changes and early bugs kept the Hoodies from really getting rolling until 2004. The Hoodies -- former high-school friends and acquaintances Dan Armbruster (vocals and guitar), Joe Morinelli (guitars), Brandon Desormeaux (bass), and Paul Brenner (drums) -- got their start in Rochester, NY, and released their full-length (by their own means) Karma Is a Boomerang in 2005. In 2006 the band then released its follow-up, Endings. Boosting their success with a steady stream of releases -- both EP and full-length -- and shows with national acts such as Cute Is What We Aim For, the Hoodies made it a point to specialize in marketing themselves, working the merchandising angle as much as possible -- including garnering a clothing label sponsorship. In 2007 the group released album number three, A Place on Solid Ground. ~ Chris True, All Music Guide
