Tabula Rasa (American band)

They were featured on Deep Elm’s Me Against the World: The Emo Diaries Chapter 7 and released a self-titled EP on One Day Savior Recordings as well as a full length album The Role of Smith on A-F Records.

The band was formed in the fall of 2000 when bassist Chris Miskis[1] brought drummer Jeff Kopanic together with guitarists Andrew Grossmann and Rob Spagiare.

Kopanic had never met either guitarist before the band's first practice at the Mr. Roboto Project.

[2] Within a few months, the band had finished recording seven songs at +/- Studio in Pittsburgh with Andy Wright.

One of those songs, "The Effects that Try," appeared as the first track on Me Against the World: The Emo Diaries Chapter 7.
