Presence Felt (American Rock Band)

Originated in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Started by lead guitarist and singer, Bob Florian. Presence Felt was originally started as a band named "Pandora's Box", in the summer of 2005. The band featured the following. Bob Florian: Lead Guitar/Backing vocals Nick Florian: Drums Mike Poremski: Lead Vocals John Poremski: Bass/Backing Vocals John Pasquarelli: Rhythm Guitar Pandora's Box split shortly there after and recruited bass player, Tim Reiser, and the a vocalist who shall not be named, due to legal reasons. They reformed under the name of "Cardboard Box" in the winter of 2006, with the similar line up. In a haze of beer and pot, 20 songs were written within the matter of 14 days. In April of 2006, 13 of those songs were recorded as "rough cuts" and their top five choices, as a quality demo. After several shows with little success, drummer, Nick Florian left the band in order to peruse his career as a firefighter. The band played 2 more shows, then disbanded. Late in the fall of 2019, Drummer Nick Florian, and Guitarist, Bob Florian, got together to begin writing again. After much deliberation, I was decided that the band should have original bass player, Tim Reiser, and guitar player, John Pasquarelli, to complete the instrumental line up. Nick got Tim to rejoin, as Bob got John to rejoin. After many practices, a few new songs, Tim decided to leave the band to continue with projects already ongoing for him. Drummer, Nick Florian, left at the same time, due to problems with his wrist and inability to play drums the way the bands music called for. Bob and John were devastated. However, they didnt quit. After a shot in the dark with a Craigslist ad, found drummer, Josh Hobaugh, they found new life, but were still short a main component. A bass player. With the immense desire to play again, former drummer, Nick Florian, asked to be the new bands bass player. They agreed following a try out. He did well (not great) but fit well with the bands style, given his already given knowledge on the bass, and knowledge of how work with a drummer, from his many years as a drummer. His experience from playing with Bob from the age of 12 and John from the age of 19, proved valuable, as they began to click immediately. Currently, Presence Felt is working on its first demo and have in upwards of 15 songs written and ready to go.
