Career
Bootleg Glory, originally called Us and Them, was founded in 2006 during the high school years of original members Ryan Thomas, Dylan Burns, Matt Meraw, Travis Blodgett and Eric Mroz. Changing their name to Bootleg Glory, they began playing high school assemblies, and parties. The first show they played was a battle of the bands in which they won a collection of studio time hours funding their first 8 song release "Some say it's fake, but it's just unreal…" in 2007. Shortly, after its release, Nick "Red" Greaves replaced Eric Mroz on drums.
2012–Present In 2012, the band began writing and recording demos with singer/songwriter/producer Brad Stella (of The Stellas), and released a 4 song, self-titled EP. The band spent much of 2013 touring Canada and writing new material. The band has recently moved to Nashville, Tennessee.
Bootleg Glory began recording a full-length album with their producer Brad Stella. The record is set for release in 2014.
