Formed in 1998, The Start was credited as one of the first bands of the new wave revival, this punk/synth rock band gained notoriety with their albums "Shakedown!" and "Initiation". Now poised to release their latest album, The Start have refined and nurtured their sound into a dancier version of their former selves. However, the punk and new wave elements are still visible through the pop sensibilities they've incorporated. They've toured with the likes of AFI, Weezer, Incubus, Sparta, Strung Out, Vaux, The Used, Coheed And Cambria, Alkaline Trio, Rancid, Taproot, The Living End, The Offspring, The (International) Noise Conspiracy, Auf Der Maur, Garbage, Head Automatica, Goldfinger, and many more.
