Into Another
Omens
INTO ANOTHER is one of the most fascinating groups to emerge from the New York underground. Coming together in 1990 with vocalist Richie Birkenhead (UNDERDOG, YOUTH OF TODAY) and longtime friend Drew Thomas (CRIPPLED YOUTH, BOLD) on drums, they enlisted virtuoso Peter Moses on guitar and riffmaster Tony Bono (WHIPLASH) on bass. That year they released their selftitled debut on Revelation Records, which displayed INTO ANOTHERs musical chops and tripped-out spiritual vision. In 1992, they released a four-song EP entitled Creepy Eepy that reflected their increasing range. As they gained popularity and released an epic second full-length, 1994s Ignaurus, they were quickly catapulted into the ranks of buzz bands of the era. After one final PETA benefit EP with Revelation Records, INTO ANOTHER were courted and signed to Hollywood Records in 1995. The band went on to record their third full-length, Seemless, as their major label debut. While their single "T.A.I.L." fared well on radio and climbed to #39 on the Billboard singles chart, mismanaged and often nonexistent distribution and promotion ultimately played a major role in breaking up the band. By 1997 INTO ANOTHER had disbanded and left an unreleased album, Soul Control, as the last taste their fans would have of INTO ANOTHERs unique style. Any hope of a reunion seemed to disappear with the tragic death of Tony Bono in 2002 and members continued to drift apart as time passed.
