Formed in February 2009, Ampersand are a six-piece rock supergroup hailing from U-32 High School. Featuring the grunt of Mitch Ferrada, the sizzling chords of Dan Thompson, the impossible beats of Dylan Hill, the rumble of Callan Roberts, the spark of Sean Nealon, and the wail of Zac Wunrow, the band falls into the genres of alternative rock, dance rock, prog rock, singer/songwriter, pop ballad, funk, techno rock, metal, indie rock, jazz, fusion, blues rock and rock. They played their first performance at the Kaleidoscope of Talent show at Spaulding High School, winning $50 in prize money for "Oh Well." This song is currently streaming on MySpace, and will be on the upcoming EP 'Bunny Hill Bandana.' Look out for other tracks from the EP, including "She's Outta Control," "Running Thin," and "Insanity."
