A Trillion Barnacle Lapse

about

A Trillion Barnacle Lapse was a post-hardcore band based out of Providence, Rhode Island. Original members, Michael Lamantia Jr., Anthony Ferreira, Alexander Laorenza, and Jonathan Santoro, first began playing as sophomores in high school under the name Tomorrow’s Will, finding an audience in the local hardcore scene.

From 1999-2001 the band gigged and toured on this material, steadily gaining notoriety along the way for their intense, flamboyant performances. Upon returning from their first US tour, the band recorded The Elemental Gearbot, signing on with Level Plane Records. Considered the “classic” A Trillion Barnacle Lapse record, the band received a near flawless rating in a 2002 issue of Alternative Press. This release saw an evolution from th
