Fiasco! is a four-piece Hard rock band from Las Vegas, Nevada. The band consists of Stephen Blanding (guitar), Mike Rueca (vocals), Steve Fralix (drums), and Jeremy Robertson (bass).

Sonicstream draws its attitude towards music from bands such as The Mars Volta, Glassjaw, Rx Bandits, and The Dillinger Escape Plan being inspired by their use of experimentation and not being afraid to draw from multiple influences all at once. They make use of flowing intelligent riffs, thoughtful melodies that range from serene to dissonant, and thumping progressive grooves to create a familiar but unique sound to call their own.

The Beginning
Stephen Blanding first started Fiasco! out as Sonicstream Supafly, a funk-metal side project during his band's, Inn Full Affect, downtime as an output for music. He recruited Steve Fralix to play drums and a friend of Fralix's to sit in on bass, and searched for a vocalist to fill in the missing void. Unsuccesful in securing a permanent vocalist, they dropped the project and went back to making music with IFA.

After months of wasted time and no progress due in part to disillusionment amongst other things, Blanding decided a change was needed and soon. After a major falling between major players, Blanding decided that was the opportunity for new beginnings. He quit along with the drummer and bassist Jeremy Robertson, and together along with Rhode Island native, Chris Smitty on vocals, they created Sonicstream. Adopting the same ideals on music that they had in Inn Full Affect, they developed a unique but familiar sound rooted in East Coast hardcore, funk-metal, and experimental rock. But not long after more would come to stall the band from moving further. After a series of show, Smith decided to back down as singer to move back to Rhode Island. With a spot open, they decided to look for a new singer while doing shows as an instrumental band and working on more new material. After months of more disillusionment, they called it quits once again, Blanding taking a complete break from music to "find himself" and focus on work, and Fralix and Robertson forming the band, Thrust, with two other friends.
