After the disintegration
of The Main Frame in 2005, Steve and Rob decided to forge ahead, starting a new
project with the general goal of achieving a modern sound, taking pieces of all
of the best influences from the 1980's and 1990's. This finally gave them the
opportunity to play with long time friend Peter Berberich on guitar. Upon
deciding on a five-piece format, Victor Cuevas was brought in on bass, and Matt
Hanief on drums. The band quickly developed a powerful sound based on simple
melodic hooks supported by a driving rhythm section. Unfortunately, Peter made
the decision to leave the band in Spring of 2006. But a willing and able
replacement was found soon afterward in Ohio transplant Nate Wainscott,
bringing a new energy to Repeater's lineup.
