Expanding Man was formed by Aaron Lippert (vocals), Dave Wanamaker (guitar), Chris Hancock (drums) and Peter Armata (bass).
After releasing Free T.V.s on a Boston area indie label, they were signed by Sony and recorded "Head to the Ground" with producer Mike Denneen.
This was not at all due to any musical failure—the group's brand of tuneful, post-grunge, melodic rock was truly exceptional and perfectly tailored for radio play-lists, yet the group received little attention from the label despite their song-crafting and high profile support spots with the likes of '90s superstars Stone Temple Pilots.
Working with Nick Gatfield (Polydor) and producer Matt Hyde, (Porno for Pyros, Monster Magnet) they recorded their sophomore effort entitled "Love and Disaster."
The band recorded and delivered a highly polished rock album at a very precarious time in the music industry.
