[edit] Background
The band formed in late 2004 and has worked hard and toured vigorously ever since. They are good friends with The Devil Wears Prada, MyChildren MyBride, The Human Abstract and others, and have toured with them.
The current lineup is a bit different now than when the band started. Gwen Stacy was formed by Brent Schindler and T.J. Sego along with previous members, Chris Suter and Josh Rickard. Chris Suter was vocalist and played the guitar; and Josh Rickard played guitar. Six months after the band formed, Cole Wallace joined the band as lead vocalist coming from a band called The House Effect. Chris Suter began to sing back up vocals and play guitar. A month later, Suter left the band completely; and Patrick Meadows took the second guitar spot. When Josh Rickard left in 2006, Mike Bryant became the second guitarist. Mike Bryant parted ways with Gwen Stacy in 2007. This left the band as a four piece band for a few months. Bobby Oakley joined the band and played guitar during The Life in your Way tour and half of the Emarosa tour. Josh Rickard then joined the band as a fill-in for the first half of the Vs. Tour. Bobby Oakley is once again the second guitarist.
To support their new album, The Life I Know, released on February 5, 2008, Gwen Stacy has been on a full U.S. tour with Drop Dead, Gorgeous, Scary Kids Scaring Kids, and fellow Indianapolis band, Haste the Day. Gwen Stacy played a few days in Central America with Haste the Day and Still Remains in March 2008. As soon as the Central America tour dates were done, the band hit the road on the "Night of The Living Tour" with Inhale Exhale and A Girl A Gun A Ghost. They were on The Ultimatour with The Devil Wears Prada and fellow label mates, Maylene and the Sons of Disaster. They are currently touring with Duck Duck Goose and Poison the Well until June 12th.
