The Still Life is an alternative pop/rock band based out of Long Island, NY. Founded in the summer of 2005 by current lead guitarist/keyboard player, Lou Peragine, and former lead singer, Jeremy Pinto, The Still Life is dedicated to empowering young people and promoting a sense of hope through their music, which is based upon life experiences. The band has gone through many lineup changes over the years and is currently comprised of Andy Putman (lead vocals), Lou Peragine (guitar/keys/vocals), Craig Michie (guitar/vocals), Jon Stevens (bass guitar) and Nick Rice (drums). With an unwavering work ethic and an unbridled passion for music, they crave to perform live and take pride in their art.
They have shared the stage with national acts such as All Time Low, Punchline and Nine Days at Long Island’s most notable venues like the Crazy Donkey, Vibe Lounge and Mulcahey’s. Still Life is on a mission to teach the youth of Long Island and beyond the power of a self-fulfilling mind and that there is no limit to what can be accomplished.
The Still Life is known for driving and hook-laden pop tunes as well as high energy and emotional rock. Music armed with furious passion and unpretentious lyrics about life are the platform they utilize to capture audiences. With the ability to transition seamlessly from acoustic ballads, to driving power pop, to high energy alternative, The Still Life vies to have something for everyone. Regardless the theme of a given track, their message is consistent and the underlying emotion shining through each and every arrangement is that of a positive one. On stage, the band explodes with the electric intensity of a super nova. From each track to the next, each song contains deep substance and profound meaning which is a fading trait these days.
“The Still Life immediately strikes with a direct, in-your-face and high energy approach to their music. Straight-forward and I mean it in the best possible way: This genre is meant to be fast and easy-to-relate to, a vehicle for direct and heartfelt lyrics and uncompromising energy”

“Substance is the first word to come to mind when listening to The Still Life’s tracks. Its fun to listen to, the lyrics actually mean something and it’s not too much and at the same time, its not too little. Tasteful is the next word that comes to mind. Don’t get me wrong, they all can play the hell out of their instruments, I just think the songwriting techniques used and theories applied are genius. Its not one shining star; it’s the group that makes them magical”
